This program will cover the role of wet salvage of paper-based collections as part of a larger incident response. After an overview of emergency preparation and response protocols, participants will take on incident response roles and run through a mock-flood scenario. Hands-on and talking through the process, participants will work to salvage and triage a variety of collection items from a pool, including papers, photographs, and bound materials. A post-scenario debrief gives participants the opportunity to review their actions with workshop instructors. Workshop attendance will be limited due to the hands-on nature of the program.

New York State is a diverse landscape inclusive of coastal waterways, freshwater lakes and streams, glacial drumlins, mountains, and much more. In the past 50 years, New York State has seen average temperatures rise and extreme weather events happen more frequently, with different regions of our state experiencing these extremes disproportionately. This interactive program invites participants to consider what environmentally responsible collections stewardship and care look like in the 21st century, with a focus on climate resilience. In this interactive session, we’ll take a look at what it means to manage our own organizations’ climate footprint as well as preparing for the types of weather emergencies we experience in New York State. Topics for discussion include exploring the types of climate change we are experiencing in New York State and identifying strategies to prepare our organizations and collections for a future where climate resilience and sustainability will be required.
