Developed by CCAHA's Preservation Services and Conservation Lab teams with support from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH), the Glossary features over 400 plain-language definitions, many paired with helpful illustrations. Topics span conservation, collections care, digital stewardship, and more. Whether you work in an archive, library, museum, or care for personal or community collections, this tool can help you better understand and communicate about preservation. We invite you to explore the glossary, share it widely, and start putting it to use. Explore the glossary: ccaha.org/preservationglossary <https://ccaha.org/preservationglossary> Learn more about the project: bit.ly/43tctSE <https://bit.ly/43tctSE> Feedback is welcomed and being collected by Katie Lowe, Preservation Specialist - https://bit.ly/4exVVhy <https://bit.ly/4exVVhy> ------------------------------ Jessica Silverman Director of Conservation Conservation Center for Art & Historic Artifacts Philadelphia PA (302) 290-1410 [email protected] ------------------------------ You are subscribed to "Global Conservation Forum (ConsDistList)" as [email protected].
