North Carolina Preservation Consortium
 2006 Annual Conference

Greensboro Public Library
November 17, 2006
9:00 AM - 4:00 PM


Collection institutions have a responsibility to follow sound conservation 
policies and practices to ensure the survival of material for use and 
exhibition.  A Public Trust at Risk: the Heritage Health Index Report on 
the State of America’s Collections, published by Heritage Preservation in 
partnership with the Institute of Museum and Library Services, reveals 
that millions of items are in urgent need of treatment by a professional 
conservator.  The North Carolina Preservation Consortium 2006 Annual 
Conference will address the conservation of books, manuscripts, and paper 
documents in our State’s libraries, archives, museums, historic sites, and 
records centers.  Institutions with a conservator on staff and those that 
outsource to conservation centers or conservators in private practice will 
benefit from this program.  The loss of intellectual and cultural heritage 
hinders education, research, life long learning, heritage tourism, and the 
diversity of discovery.  Learn how to select material for conservation and 
prioritize collection care using limited resources effectively.  Personnel 
performing, managing, or advocating for the conservation of collections 
are encouraged to attend this conference.  Students in library and 
information science, archives, public history, museum, and conservation 
graduate schools are also welcome.

Join the North Carolina Preservation Consortium

The North Carolina Preservation Consortium (NCPC) is dedicated to the 
preservation of educational, cultural, historical, and research 
collections in our state's libraries, archives, museums, historic sites, 
and records centers. NCPC also informs the general public about 
preservation to safeguard private collections and family treasures. Our 
preservation mission addresses the proper care and handling of materials; 
storage and environmental control; disaster preparedness and recovery; the 
repair, reformatting and conservation of damaged items; and collection 
security. NCPC supports the preservation of information content, and the 
medium as artifact, in new and traditional formats for present and future 
generations. 

We would like to welcome your institution to the preservation consortium. 
Our minimum annual membership fee is only $100.00. Higher levels of 
support are voluntary. Benefits of NCPC membership include discounts on 
our continuing education workshops and annual conference. Employees of 
institutional members are eligible to hold leadership positions on the 
consortium's board of directors, committees, and task groups. Member 
institutions are recognized for their contributions on our Web site. The 
success of our state wide preservation program depends on the talents, 
diversity, and generosity of our colleagues. Together we can make a 
difference in the survival of our collections. Join NCPC today!
