  • 1.  Preservation Week Wrap-up

    Posted May 03, 2022 12:43 PM
    Hello Promoting Preservation IG members! 

    Did your institution do any outreach for Preservation Week this year? If so, tell us about your activities! 

    At UIUC, we held an in-person book making event, an environment and IPM webinar for Library staff, and made a big push across our social media channels. 

    There's still one more Preservation Week event for 2022! Don't forget to join the live Q&A forum with this year's  honorary chair, Elizabeth Yeampierre, this Friday, May 6, at 1pm Central.

    Preservation Week, sponsored by Core, is the last week in April and a great time to do preservation-related programming and engagement. If you're interested in planning something next year, check out the Preservation Week website for event planning suggestions and promotional materials.
