[Adam Wanter]

Hello Everyone,

Call for proposals form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSe7_xakW6Qfw0PYi0PhCtHx-ON6UWEVVGhCFLWlq3pa0SukYQ/viewform?usp=sharing
The Ohio Preservation Council (OPC) and the Ohio Digitization Interest Group (OhioDIG) welcome presentation proposals for our first joint meeting, to be held in person May 8, 2025, at the Parson Branch, Columbus Metro Library, 1113 Parsons Ave., Columbus, OH. The theme of the meeting will be disasters and disasters preparedness.
Archives, libraries, museums, and cultural heritage organizations are often vulnerable to natural and human-made disasters, ranging from burst pipes, floods, fires, mold, cyber-attacks and so much more. Has your organization responded to a local disaster? What lessons were learned? If you haven't experienced a disaster, has your organization developed and implemented a disaster preparedness plan to safeguard your collections?
We invite proposals from an array of organizations to share experiences and strategies in dealing with local disasters or creating disaster preparedness plans. We hope to highlight lessons learned, potential best practices, and forward-thinking approaches towards disasters and disaster preparedness.
There will be roughly 60 minutes reserved for presentations split among the speakers, with questions at the end.
