Call for Participants & Presenters:

The next Conservation and Collections Care Camp is set for November 5, 2015. It will be held in Livonia at the National Headquarters for Document Freeze Drying (DFD) /Document Restoration Services. The agenda will consist of (informal) presentations / discussions with our peers about pressing or puzzling issues, followed by a tour of the facility (3 buildings!) which specializes in recovering documents, electronic files, and artwork that has been damaged in a disaster. The tour will be conducted by Bill Gulley, Archives Specialist. Fittingly, our theme for this camp will be “Preparation.” ** Tentative time will be 10:00- 3:00. There is no cost for the camp, but lunch will be on your own. Registration Required.

In you have attended a C&C Camp before, you know that it is conducted in an informal environment designed for us share conservation-related accomplishments, ask colleagues about their experiences, and to give & get advice. The focus is primarily, though not exclusively, about analog materials: paper, photographs, film, art, etc.

Please plan to attend to share your experiences and questions AND to learn exactly how those wet & moldy documents get brought back to life.

Please e-mail Whitney Miller (millerwh@msu.edu) with questions and to register.

**Please note that because the camp includes a production facility tour, accessibility is limited. Participants must be able to negotiate stairs. If you have an accessibility issue, please call Whitney Miller for further information.
