Webinar: Ephemera, Artifacts & Photographs, Oh My! Tackling Conservation & Preservation Quandaries

Wednesday, November 6th – 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm

In this presentation, we will talk about how to tackle conservation concerns, including some resources for handling artefacts, rehousing materials for long-term care and when to reach out to a conservator. Presenters will also share information about the Ohio Preservation Council, and there will be time for questions and discussion.
