Hello, Diane and others: There is information on the wiki manual that specifically addresses protection of archival collections from disasters and from mold: http://nesiya.wikispaces.com/Disaster+Preparedness http://nesiya.wikispaces.com/Book+Care+and+Preservation
Additionally, I would recommend the website of the Society of American Archivists, http://www2.archivists.org/ This is something I will make a note about to add to the resource manual! In addition, there are often Jewish Archives, historical societies or universities in your area, who are already archive specialists, who may assist you and/or would welcome your materials. Best of luck, Toby Harris, Librarian Temple De Hirsch Sinai 206-693-3379 Seattle 425-559-2578 Bellevue http://lib.tdhs-nw.org for library hours, programs and CATALOG -----Original Message----- From: Hasafran [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Diane Wolf Sent: Thursday, October 27, 2016 6:40 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [ha-Safran] Looking for advice re: synagogue archives Hello, I've almost completed getting the library cataloged, etc., and finally have been able to order some new materials. Now, I need to tackle the synagogue archives. I'm new to the AJL website and wiki so I may be missing something. Is there any place in the AJL online resources that addresses this topic? If not, I hope to get in touch with other synagogue librarians who are responsible for their institutional archives.
