Task Force Three

Conservation/Preservation Task Force
Who Saves What?

Chair:
Staff Resource: Michael McColgin, Jan Elliott

Charge: Drawing from the work of the Coordinated Collection Development Committee and the Cultural Inventory Project, the Conservation/Preservation Task Force will prioritize statewide needs for conservation and preservation. Based on this information, the Task Force will create a plan to conserve/preserve the state's unique information. This will begin with developing an assessment instrument for local institutions.

The Conservation/Preservation Task Force will develop and distribute a resource guide that would include organizations, persons and materials in the areas of conservation and preservation. The Task Force will work in tandem with the Department's continuing education program to plan training events to raise awareness about conservation and preservation and to train other staff in particular conservation/preservation techniques.

There is a consortium for cooperative purchasing of conservation/preservation supplies; its services might be extended to include more libraries and other cultural institutions.

Volunteers for the Conservation/Preservation Task Force:

Bill Och, Arizona State Parks - Riordan Mansion, Alternate-Teri Kalloch
Stefanie Nordbrock, Prescott Public Library
Kari Krueger, Cave Creek Museum
Brad Cole, Northern Arizona University
Lois Schneberger, Arizona State University
