ESSENTIAL POLICIES & PROCEDURES FOR CULTURAL INSTITUTIONS
An institution's collections care and business practices are defined by its written \
policies and procedures. Institutional memory is often lost through staff changes, \
but best practices are encoded in these important documents. This program will \
provide an overview of the policy and planning documents that are essential for \
collections care, such as collections management policies, handling guidelines, and \
maintenance policies. Participants will review the critical components of these \
documents along with concrete examples of how to adapt them to different \
institutions. Policy development as well as approval and implementation \
responsibilities of staff, volunteers, and board will be discussed.

Dates/Locations:
September 11, 2012 - Raymond M. Blasco, M.D. Memorial Library, Erie 
September 12, 2012 - Senator John Heinz History Center, Pittsburgh

Speaker:  
Laura Hortz Stanton, Director of Preservation Services, Conservation Center for Art & \
Historic Artifacts

Pennsylvania's Past, a statewide effort to preserve the millions of objects and \
historic artifacts that shape the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania's history and define \
