Webcast on Sustaining Living Collections is Now Available from IMLS

Washington, DC-Webcast presentations on the challenges of caring for and
sustaining living collections in zoos, aquaria, gardens, nature centers,
and living history farms are now available from the Institute of Museum
and Library Services (IMLS). The presentations may be viewed at
http://www.tvworldwide.com/events/heritage_preservation/090219/default.c
fm.

The presentations were made February 19 and 20, 2009, at "It's Alive!
Petals to Primates: Preservation Challenges of Living Collections," a
two-day forum in San Diego on issues of pressing concern to the smaller
institutions that are stewards of America's collections of plants and
animals. IMLS sponsored the forum with Heritage Preservation and the San
Diego Zoo. The webcast includes sessions on: 

*	staying current on collections planning and management, 
*	protecting collections from natural disasters, 
*	organizing and caring for the records and photographs that
document collections, and 
*	attracting funding in tough economic times.

The forum, which received support from the Legler Benbough Foundation,
The President's Committee on the Arts and the Humanities, Disney's
Animal Kingdom, and the Chanticleer Foundation, is the third in the
series of IMLS forums in the Connecting to Collections National Tour.
The meetings are part of the national initiative, Connecting to
Collections: A Call to Action, a multiyear, multifaceted initiative to
help museums, libraries, and archives save their collections. For more
information on the initiative, please go to
http://www.imls.gov/collections/index.htm. 

IMLS encourages webcast viewers to share this resource with colleagues.
