OTHER
ILLINOIS EVENTS
PRESERVING YOUR CULTURAL HERITAGE
April 24th, 2012 from
7:00-9:00 pm
McLean County Museum of History
200 N. Main Street, Bloomington IL
Make sure your treasures will last! Join The Ames Library, the McLean County Museum of History, and Milner Library for an evening of conversation and consultation on April 24th, 2012 from 7:00-9:00 pm at the McLean County Museum, 200 N. Main Street in Bloomington.
Local experts who care for archives, library, and museum collections will offer tips for storing and displaying your family’s treasures. Practical information on preventing damage and salvaging materials when disaster strikes will also be shared. Attendees are invited to bring books, photographs, textiles or small objects for one-on-one consultations about potential repairs and treatments. A variety of preservation supplies will be awarded as door prizes courtesy of the three institutions and each attendee will receive a resource list and local contacts for further information.
This event is part of the American Library Association’s 2012 Preservation Week, a national effort to help communities understand the work of museums, libraries, archives and other organizations in preserving cultural heritage. Individuals, families and other groups create that history, and this program is designed to help them secure a future record of their actions. Find out more at
