Despite working from home right now, we here at The Preservation Lab are getting very excited for ALA’s Preservation Week, which starts on Monday, April 27th! If you are familiar with us at all, you know we love to host our annual Preservation Week Open House. We truly treasure opening the doors of our lab to the community to talk about our work caring for the collections from both the University of Cincinnati and the Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County. And of course you might remember those delicious cookies we like to share too!
Well, I hope you are stocked with your cookies at home this year, because while our in-person open house is cancelled, we will be fully celebrating Preservation Week virtually this year!
Stay tuned throughout all of Preservation Week as we post a daily blog (right here!) to highlight some of the great things we are working on. We’ll cover the digitization of an antiphonary (and if you don’t know what that is, be sure to check out the post!); share some content and media we have been creating while working from home; have a blast from the past with a look at past Preservation Week Open House events; and more!
Remember to follow us on Instagram @thepreservationlab, if you aren’t already!
