You can catch the official word on the “Connecting to Collections” materials at http://www.uafortsmith.edu/News/Index?skin=&storyid=2073 .
This came from a special grant from the Institute for Museum and Library Services (IMLS) and is available in the Pebley Center in Library 106 (along with some DVDs available at the Circulation Desk).
These materials cover the preservation of historical materials and art. Got some old photos? Old letters? Other historical material, or artwork? Information is right here on preserving all of these for the future.
