“Yes You Can! DIY Conservation”
(Providence, RI) The Rhode Island Historical Records Advisory Board (RIHRAB) will now be offering its third of four workshops on Friday, October 1st at 9 a.m. via Zoom. The approximately 90-minute program is limited to 30 participants. Hands-on workshop kits will be available for scheduled pickup for individuals who register.
This workshop, led by professional conservator and Assistant Professor of Practice at Simmons University Donia Conn, will provide techniques to help give you control over the care of your collections in a more proactive, practical, and ultimately satisfying way.
Conn is a private book and paper conservator and a Professional Associate of the American Institute for Conservation (AIC). Previously, Donia has worked for the Northeast Document Conservation Center, Northwestern University, and Syracuse University.
Yes You Can! is the third of four workshops to be offered by RIHRAB in 2021 with support from the National Historical Publications and Records Commission (NHPRC). Later this year, a final session on archives and preservation will be held.
Pre-registration is required at rihrab.com, using the link to RIHRAB Workshop Series, or directly via the form.
RIHRAB serves as a central advisory body for historical records planning and project development for NHPRC-funded projects in the state and encourages and supports communication and coordination among the historical records community.
