Greater Hudson Heritage Network Announcement


Today announces the launch of the new  
Connecting to New York's Collections website!


Last fall, Greater Hudson Heritage Network was awarded $250,000 through the fall of 2014, from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) to present preservation training  in connection with the collection types identified as "at risk" in New York State: books and paper; photographic collections; digital materials; and historic objects. Training will be provided via:

  • webinar series (14 in all), viewable independently or in groups to encourage discussion and networking
  • web-based "How-To" video tutorials providing instruction to organizational staff and to a more general audience who may have personal collections
  • C2CNYS.org - an interactive cross-disciplinary knowledge portal website website - will serve as the 'go-to' site for collections care best practices, a 'home' for disaster preparedness plans, conservation and preservation resources, the webinar series, and the "How-To" video tutorials
