Free Webinars
The Preservation Week theme for 2023 is Building Resilient Communities. These presentations will explore ways in which different organizations respond to disasters, and the impact of disasters on communities.
The Preservation Outreach Committee organizes and presents webinars annually for Preservation Week. Our goal is to serve the needs of libraries, cultural institutions, and members of the public in two ways:
- by expanding access to preservation information relevant to the work of librarians and others working in collections holding organizations; and
- by providing content to share with the public during and after Preservation Week
Note: webinars are free to attend, but a separate registration is required for each.
