Instructor: Carolyn Morgan (Peel). Many of us have personal or family collections that include books, documents, photographs, or scrapbooks that we wish to keep for our enjoyment and that of future generations. How can we protect our treasures from damage and deterioration caused by handling and the environment? Workshop participants will learn from Peel's Conservator about many possible risks and will get practical ideas to help safeguard your collections for future generations. The workshop will also be very useful for students who may work or volunteer in small or specialized libraries and archives.

This series of workshops is designed to offer a wide range of hands-on and experiential learning opportunities in special collections. Everything you want to know about Peel Workshops can be found on the Bruce Peel Special Collections website here.
