This six-part course introduced basic collections care principles and practices and answered frequently asked questions. It is a part of the Caring for Yesterday’s Treasures—Today series.

One of the major causes of damage to collections comes from handling or moving—even by the most experienced or careful individuals. Fortunately, when collections are stored appropriately, handling becomes safer and easier. This session discussed how to store collections so that staff, volunteers, and researchers can access them in the safest possible manner.
