For those following along at home, you may recall that I have been working on the the Connecting to Collections project, which chose:
To undertake a statewide preservation needs assessment of the Commonwealth’s cultural collections. The ... survey subsequently developed was designed to assess the preservation needs of collections held by a wide variety of institutions. (source)
Gregor Trinkaus-Randall shared links to his listservs last week to the Final Report — this includes the complete report, the executive summary and narrative, individual sections dealing with specific types of institutions, the raw data by budget size and by type of institution, and the survey instrument itself.
Gregor also took time last week to point out that there are still spots available for the environmental monitoring program. Our library participated last year. It's an extremely useful tool for determining preservation improvements to HVAC systems or for disaster planning. There is no cost to sign up, but there are limited slots. Sign up today!
