Dartmouth College Library celebrates Preservation Week

From April 23-29 we celebrate Preservation Week, a time when libraries across the country will provide information and expertise on how to preserve books, textiles, digital photos, family records and more. This is, of course, our favorite time of year!

During the week, we will have a table in the Berry Main Street hallway with handouts and information. On the 25th and 26th from 11-2, conservators Deborah Howe and Lizzie Curran were on hand to answer conservation and preservation questions.

To find out more about Preservation Week, including links to FREE preservation webinars, visit the Preservation Week website.
