The April 24-30 Preservation Week theme is "Preservation in the Face of Climate Change" and will highlight the effects of climate change on our shared cultural heritage materials. During Preservation Week, libraries, museums, institutions, and communities are urged to examine the effects on collections and their keepers, as well as resiliency strategies.

Last year we created the brochure Preservation Tips for your Photographs, Documents, and Digital Content to hand out at Minnesota Digital Library (MDL) Scan for Keeps events and other select events. We've had requests from libraries to make this brochure more widely available so that they can order copies to give out to patrons.
