Association of Research Libraries (ARL)
and the

October
30-31, 2000
The
Bicentennial symposium To Preserve and Protect: The Strategic
Stewardship of Cultural Resources provided directors and administrators
of libraries, museums, and archives the opportunity to learn how
colleagues are handling concerns related to setting standards, using
measurements, and justifying budgets for funders. Plenary and breakout
sessions enabled participants to explore concerns that overlap and
lend themselves to complementary solutions. Experts in the cultural
heritage community led sessions on:
- Facing
challenges confronting the stewards of our nation's cultural heritage
-
Developing preservation and security strategies, priorities, and
expectations
-
Measuring the effectiveness of preservation and security programs
-
Coping with theft, vandalism, deterioration, and bad press
- Building
the preservation and security budget and successfully promoting
the program
- Defining
the preservation and security challenges of electronic information
and digitization
- Promoting
innovations in security and preservation
- Cooperating
nationally and internationally to preserve and secure collections
Air
transportation for the symposium's speakers and moderators was donated
by U.S. Airways.
