[BCMA] AABC Workshop announcement! Preservation and Disaster Planning for Archives (Nov 2020)

[Moderated BCMA subscriber listserv.]

Colleagues,

The AABC is pleased to announce that registration for a new workshop
*Preservation
and Disaster Planning for Archives
<https://aabc.ca/events/preservation-and-disaster-planning-for-archives-workshop/>*
is
now open!

Through a combination of 4 online webinar sessions and practical exercises,
workshop participants will come away from the training with awareness of
the requirements for accepted storage and preservation standards, effective
emergency response planning, and the confidence to respond in an emergency.
The workshop will include a virtual demonstration session where
participants will learn how to salvage different formats of archival
records that have been damaged by water and fire. Participants will then
practice what they learned through an at home / office disaster and
recovery exercise with a selection of AABC provided archival materials.
