Conservation and Collections Care Camp: Call for Participants and Presenters

The organizers of the Conservation and Collections Care Camp are pleased to announce that CCCC4 is set for May 4, 2016. It will be held at the University of Michigan Bentley Historical Library at 1150 Beal Avenue, Ann Arbor. Please spread the word!

The theme for this camp is Bringing the Past Into the Future. The agenda will consist of informal presentations and discussions by attendees about interesting projects or problems followed by a tour of the Bentley Library. The time is 10:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. There is no cost for the camp but registration is required in order to attend. Lunch will be provided. Parking will be at metered lot NC5 (accepts cash or credit cards at a kiosk).  Parking map:   http://pts.umich.edu/maps/north_medical.pdf

If you have attended a C&C Care Camp before, you know that it is conducted in an informal environment designed for participants to share conservation-related accomplishments, ask colleagues about their experiences, and to give and get advice. The focus is primarily, though not exclusively, about “analog” materials: paper, photographs, film, art, etc. The Bentley now has a "teaching" podium that has a windows PC, with Powerpoint, Internet access, a wide-screen projector, etc. People can also plug in their Mac or PC laptops if they desire.

You can read about some previous camps on the woefully out of date “Michigan Collections Network” blog. https://michigancollectionsnetwork.wordpress.com/

Please plan to come and share your experiences and to learn from your peers. We want to hear about your projects!  Email Dianna Samuelson sdianna@umich.edu  with questions, to reserve a place on the agenda (15-30 minute time slots), and to register. Registration deadline: April 20, 2016.
