I was lucky enough to see a presentation about this project at the most recent SOA meeting, and they are doing some great work!
They assured us that the trainings are open to all, so if you are interested, take a look!

Subject: [SOA] Register now for the upcoming in-person collections care workshops for KY, OH, and WV!

The Conservation Center for Art & Historic Artifacts (CCAHA) (http://www.ccaha.org) is pleased to be leading the Regional Heritage Stewardship Program (RHSP), serving Appalachian regions of Kentucky, Ohio, and West Virginia.  With a goal of creating working communities of practice among small organizations facing related challenges, RHSP offers a unique opportunity to increase collections care in individual institutions, as well as to meet and network with other collections care professionals in the region.

Register now for the following in-person programs:

Preservation Planning and Environmental Management
Thursday, July 19, 2018, 9:00am - 4:30pm
University of Pikeville
Pikeville, KY

Monday, July 23, 2018, 9:00am - 4:30pm
West Virginia University
Morgantown, WV

A Preservation Plan is an essential document that helps an institution carefully chart a 5-10 year course for the preservation of collections artifacts. Without planning, it can be nearly impossible to effectively budget staff time and resources for collections care.

In this workshop, participants will receive guidance on how to create a Preservation Plan. Participants will study sample Plans and practice establishing goals, objectives, and strategies to develop an effective Plan.

The speaker will discuss how to sustain appropriate environments for long-term preservation and explain the impact of temperature, relative humidity, light, mold, and housekeeping on collections.

Emergency Planning and Preparedness
Friday, July 20, 2018, 9:00am - 4:30pm
University of Pikeville
Pikeville, KY

Tuesday, July 24, 2018, 9:00am - 4:30pm
West Virginia University
Morgantown, WV

Thoughtful preparation for an emergency or disaster is crucial to safeguarding collections. The creation of an Emergency Preparedness and Response Plan is vital to the survival of an institution's artifacts.

In this workshop, participants will learn about tools for developing an Emergency Response and Preparedness Plan and the basics of collections salvage. There will be an opportunity to practice hands-on salvage procedures by rescuing a variety of materials from water.

Participants will learn how to train their staff and fellow employees to ensure that in the event of an emergency, the Emergency Response and Preparedness Plan is efficiently and effectively followed.

Speaker: Dyani Feige, Director of Preservation Services, CCAHA
Fees: $30 per day or $50 for both Workshops
