Help us celebrate Preservation Week 2013!

Preservation Services at the Dartmouth College Library presents a behind the scenes tour of the conservation facility, as part of the American Library Associations Preservation Week. The tour will be held on Thursday, April 25th, at 11am, noon, and 1pm. Please gather at Berry Information Desk a few minutes before the tour and you will be escorted to Preservation Services. Highlights of the tour will be conservation for digitization, digital preservation, film assessment and disaster recovery.

Each tour will last 60 minutes. This event is free and open to the community.

The event is part of a national celebration initiated by the ALA to raise awareness of cultural heritage preservation within the community. Please stop by and help us celebrate ALA Preservation Week 2013 - without preservation, our past will be forgotten.
