Workshops for InstitutionS

BACC can create on-site, customized educational workshops available to your institution or professional association through our institution-based training program.

A wide range of topics are offered, from those appropriate for institutions just embarking on a preservation planning program to specific, issue-oriented sessions geared to institutions that are further along in their conservation program. Just a few of the current topics available for training are:
  • Basic Condition Reporting for Collections Managers
