| Instructor: | Priscilla Anderson |

The purpose of this workshop is to prepare staff to carry out response and recovery procedures during emergencies that threaten typical library and archival collections. The workshop consists of lectures, demonstration and hands-on practice in how to respond to an emergency effectively to prevent damage to the most vulnerable collections, and then how to salvage a variety of wet collection types during the recovery phase. Based on a recent workshop offered to Harvard University staff, a template for a collections emergency plan will be shared as well as an in-depth discussion of different roles and responsibilities, communication and decision-making that can be more effective if it is planned ahead and also integrated into staff members’ formal duties.
The format of the workshop includes lectures, demonstrations, hands-on practice, and group work. Structured around the emergency lifecycle, the curriculum emphasizes how effective decision-making, paying attention to safety and security, thorough documentation and informed actions can help prevent further damage. Format-specific Collections Salvage training includes how to prioritize, move, clean, freeze and dry the most commoncollection formats. Additionally, participants will have an opportunity to develop skills in how to train others in basic response and salvage techniques.
The workshop will be conducted in English.
