Take Ten: Preservation Week

Next week is PRESERVATION WEEK – a week to take stock in our personal and shared treasures and make action plans to keep them safe. And, in light of this week’s fire at Notre Dame, it’s a good reminder that we need to help preserve our cultural heritage year round.

The following books all offer a look at how professionals, local groups, and individuals can work to protect physical and digital items to share with the next generation. Catch up on a few ideas – and then get preserving!
