Preservation Week


April 22-28 is designated Preservation Week by the American Library Association and this year's theme is "Pass It On," as in making sure we preserve our personal and public history and collections so that we can pass it on to future generations.

Some items in our collection that may help you to preserve your history include:

Aug, Bobbie A. Vintage Quilts: Identifying, Collecting, Dating, Preserving & Valuing. [746.46 AUG]

Long, Jane S. Caring for Your Family Treasures: Heritage Preservation. [745.1 LON]

McClure, Rhonda R. Digitizing Your Family History: Easy Methods for Preserving Your Heirloom Documents, Photos, Home Movies and More in a Digital Format. [929.1 MCC]

Tuttle, Craig A. An Ounce of Preservation: A Guide to the Care of Papers and Photographs. [025.8 TUT]

We care about preserving our collection of books for our readers. Here's a cute video that makes the point in a rather light-hearted way:
