University of Kentucky, King Library, Special Collections Research Center
Invigorated by the makerspace and hacker trends? Eager to practice preservation techniques you’ve read about but never seen demonstrated? “Getting our Hands Dirty: DIY Solutions for Archival Challenges” will feature presentations by conservation and archival experts on topics that include humidification, audiocassette repair, mat board measuring and cutting, lesson plan creation, automation for finding aid edits, and much more! Leaders will demonstrate each tool and session participants will get hands-on experience practicing techniques. Participants are encouraged to bring their own laptops and ideas for how to implement solutions at their own institution.
Practice materials will be provided and light refreshments will be offered during breaks. Wireless internet connection is spotty in the SCRC Digital Lab where we will be meeting. Please plan accordingly.
