Focus on Collections Care is a three-day workshop series presented by BACC at selected locations throughout the western region. The series provides an intensive training experience focused on the basic preservation themes of planning and management, preventive strategies, and emergency response and recovery.
Workshop participants gain a more complete understanding of available preservation resources, have an opportunity to build peer alliances, and are introduced to tools essential to incorporating preservation into institutional planning and in implementing collection care recommendations.
Thanks to the generosity of the NEH, BACC will be offering additional one-day training sessions in 2007-2009 in addition to the popular Focus on Collections Care series.
Who should attend: staff involved in collections care activities, exhibition development or installation, institutional management, and collections stewardship. The workshops also make an excellent complement to related degree programs, and students are encouraged to attend.
