Archival Needs Assessments
Sometimes, the hardest part of a project is getting started, and establishing or maintaining archival programs can feel insurmountable. In this webinar, Backlog archivists will explain their Archival Needs Assessment service, which pairs individual attention with recommendations for applying archival standards. They will describe the one-on-one discussions and evaluation of an archival repository's needs, strengths, and vulnerabilities and outline how they consider the uniqueness of an institution in writing its customized report. Archival Needs Assessments are appropriate for any institution eager for an outside perspective on their operations, regardless of the archive's size, staffing, or collections.
Monday, June 17th @ 5 pm CT via Zoom.
What’s Your Damage
All memory workers encounter collections materials that are physically damaged or beset by mold or pests. Knowing how to identify problems and having a plan to respond quickly to them makes for better stewardship so that collections are usable into the future. This webinar will cover the identification of common problems that threaten collections, give some guidance on when to get professional conservators involved, and explain methods to better protect collections by preventing risks.
Monday, July 22nd @ 5 pm CT via Zoom.
