| Friday, November 22, 2024 | Caring for Photograph Collections | 10:00 AM - 4:00 PM | Classroom Training | Niagara County |
Photographs are ubiquitous in collections, and managing and caring for these materials present unique challenges. This workshop will cover the basics of care and management for photographic collections. We will discuss how photographic collections are defined and described, spend time looking at different types of photographic materials, and consider how materials impact preservation, storage, and housing decisions. Emphasis will be given to scalable solutions for preservation. A hands-on housing activity will provide participants with experience creating enclosures.

| Thursday, December 12, 2024 | Keeping Up With COVID-19 - Maintaining Your Pandemic Records | 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM | Webinar | Statewide |
The COVID-19 public health emergency has resulted in an unprecedented level of documentation - both of the pandemic’s impact on communities and governments' response to the pandemic. Local governments and state agencies seeking guidance on managing and preserving these records are welcome to join us as we provide some insight on managing records in a remote environment, applying appropriate retention schedule items, and identifying records of enduring historical value. |
