Preserve, Protect, Pass It On: Celebrating National Preservation Week

As spring cleaning gets underway, many will be left to contemplate how to preserve new-found treasures. From April 26 – May 2, libraries across the country will provide information and expertise on how to preserve collectibles, digital photos, family records and much more. At UC San Diego Library, we understand the importance of ensuring our university’s resources live on. In fact we have a whole team of preservation experts dedicated to granting our students, faculty and researchers access to what they need, when they need it, and in the form that is most useful to them.
Join us in celebration of National Preservation Week as we demonstrate a variety of book repairs. Preservation staff will be on hand to answer any questions you have. They will also provide you with a handout for more information on how to make your own personal memories – photo collections, letters, family records, and other valuable materials – last for generations.
Thursday, April 30
12:00 p.m. – 2:00 p.m.
Geisel Library, East Wing 2nd Fl
Event is open to the public.
