Practical Approaches to Collections Care: Free Webinar, Aug. 22
Practical Preservation: Applied Approaches to Collections Care
Tuesday, August 22, 10:00 a.m. CT
Samantha Forsko, Head Registrar, Smart Museum of Art
Caretakers of cultural heritage collections are often intimidated by “best practices.” Every collecting institution wants to do their best for every object in their collection, but most museums don't have the funds for high-tech HVAC systems or the staff time to develop comprehensive preservation plans, nor do all of their collection material warrant the absolute "best" treatment.

With limited staff, time, and money, how do organizations find ways to implement preservation practices that are feasible and sustainable? How can collections care be made practical and approachable to organizations of all sizes? This free webinar will explore those concepts, focusing on the presenter's recent publication, Practical Approaches to Collections Care<https://lnks.gd/l/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJidWxsZXRpbl9saW5rX2lkIjoxMDAsInVyaSI6ImJwMjpjbGljayIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vd3d3LnJvdXRsZWRnZS5jb20vUHJhY3RpY2FsLUFwcHJvYWNoZXMtdG8tQ29sbGVjdGlvbnMtQ2FyZS9Gb3Jza28vcC9ib29rLzk3ODEwMzIwMzc1MzA_dXRtX21lZGl1bT1lbWFpbCZ1dG1fc291cmNlPWdvdmRlbGl2ZXJ5IiwiYnVsbGV0aW5faWQiOiIyMDIzMDgxMC44MDkzNzE4MSJ9.qRT3o19LzCDmYYam2nmAEcieBDWSyX3GyfCacQUcp1Y/s/2934310880/br/224030289124-l>.

OHS reintroduces the Oregon TimeWeb
OHS is excited to announce the relaunch of the Oregon TimeWeb (oregontimeweb.org<https://t.e2ma.net/click/fakovk/jtxycc/zxv87cc>), an interactive timeline and digital portal for exploring Oregon history. Originally built in 2009, the TimeWeb was created to provide teachers with a dynamic means of introducing students to primary sources, the building blocks of historical inquiry. Thanks to an American Rescue Plan Act grant from the State Library of Oregon, the TimeWeb has now been redesigned using the latest technology for a new generation of users. The project also included major improvements to the Oregon History Project<https://t.e2ma.net/click/fakovk/jtxycc/fqw87cc> and the Oregon History Wayfinder<https://t.e2ma.net/click/fakovk/jtxycc/vix87cc>.

Using a timeline format to demonstrate change over time, this website encourages users to reconstruct the context in which a document, image, or object was created by connecting a single primary source to a web of primary source materials from the Oregon History Project and entries from The Oregon Encyclopedia<https://t.e2ma.net/click/fakovk/jtxycc/bby87cc>. By linking multiple voices and perspectives about a single historical event to each other, the TimeWeb allows users to explore historical events as the multifaceted and complex processes they were.
