About This Session

Myth #3: “Emergency planning requires creating an immense 3-ring binder of information.”

Disaster planning can seem like a daunting task, requiring a lot of paperwork and time, but it is not as difficult as you might think. There are simple tasks and tools that can help you prepare for the worst. In this webinar, you will learn about what essentials are necessary for your plan, how to prioritize your collection for recovery, and helpful hints working with recovery vendors.

About This Series

There are some longstanding “myths” about preservation; some stem from past theories that have been rethought or retooled and others from only remembering part of the story. Come to this webinar series to hear the truth about mold, climate control, and emergency planning.

About Our Presenter: Tara D. Kennedy is the Preventive Conservator at the Yale Library Center for Preservation and Conservation. She holds an MLS and Certificate of Advanced Study in Preservation and Conservation Studies for library and archival collections.
