The Californians Connecting to Collections Project is a two-year, statewide preservation project that will provide information, education, and training to California heritage institutions. One component of this project is a two-part workshop, titled Protecting Cultural Collections: Disaster Prevention, Preparedness, Response and Recovery. Participants will complete a disaster response and collection salvage plan by the end of Part 2, including pre- and post-disaster action priorities for your collections, and an understanding of the practical decision-making skills needed during an emergency. For more information or registration assistance contact Sarah Post at admin@calmuseums.org.

These workshops are FREE. Funding is provided by the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) through a Connecting to Collections statewide grant.

Part 2: Response & Recovery - 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
