This is the fourth of four roundtables for this year.


  

Connecting to New York's Collections

The Greater Hudson Heritage Network, the Institute of Museum and Library Services, and 20 other heritage organizations and libraries are project partners in promoting preservation training in connection with the collection types identified as "at risk" in New York State: books and paper; photographic collections; digital materials; and historic objects. For information on upcoming webinars, web-based "how-to" video tutorials, the circuit rider mentoring program, and other resources, visit www.C2CNYS.org.
