I'm at a workshop at NEDCC

I am playing catch-up with my various link drops this week due to a Tuesday workshop at the Northeast Document Conservation Center in Andover, MA. This is the latest in a number of workshops I have taken at NEDCC from single day sessions on Preservation of Scrapbooks, Basic Book Repair, Identification and Care of Photographs, or Basic Paper Repair to longer form sessions like School for Scanning or Managing Preservation. Their programs are worth your time and your or your institution's money as there is much to get from them. The one day sessions are taught by in-house practicing conservators. The longer workshops are taught by nationally known practitioners in a setting which allows the students a high degree of interaction with faculty and other students. If you have the wherewithal to use their training it is well worth your consideration.
