Did you know that your photo albums, documents and family memories could be at risk of permanent damage? Not from a sudden tragedy like flood or a fire, but from seemingly innocuous packaging materials like acidic paper, acidic adhesives, old photo albums, or improper temperature control!
Inaugurated in 2010
by the Association for Library Collections and Technical Services (ALA),
National Preservation Week is
geared towards raising awareness of how easily items decay, and why
preservation is such a vital part of our humanity and history.
This is a celebration
of our most beloved artifacts and the people who work meticulously to ensure
they remain safe.
In honor of the
art of preservation and all of our colleagues, Cyndi Shattuck Photography & Archiving will share tips about our favorite archiving tools on Pinterest. We can’t get enough of these tools—like the finest-point glue pen we’ve ever
used—and wholeheartedly recommend them for photo album preservation and safekeeping
of your documents and collections.
We hope you will
follow our Pinterest board, blogs, Twitter feed and Facebook pages to learn
some new tricks, and hopefully find these tools as indispensable as we do!
