<p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">New for Preservation Week 2013 will be an all new preservation advice column – Dear Donia. What “Dear Abby” was to personal relationships, Dear Donia will be for all
your preservation conundrums! How do I store my grandfather’s letters home from the front? What should I do to preserve my family color snapshots that are fading? How can I preserve my child’s baby quilt made by her great-grandmother? To launch the column
on Friday, April 26 at 11 am EST, Donia Conn will host a one hour live chat to help answer your preservation questions. In the meantime, feel free to send Donia questions via the Preservation Week’s Facebook page.</span></p>
