In our most recent webinar, DHPSNY's Preservation Specialist, Kate Jacus, provides a comprehensive overview of strategies for planning and installing exhibits of archival collections while prioritizing their long-term preservation. Preservation in Exhibits is an updated version of a webinar presented by DHPSNY staff in 2018, where participants learned how to select preservation-quality materials, design display environments that minimize risk to fragile items, and implement best practices for handling and showcasing archival materials.
