Disaster Planning, Response and Recovery

Martha Battle Jackson, Chief Curator for North Carolina Historic Sites, and Sharon Bennett, Archivist at Charleston College, join forces again to lead this 2-day workshop. The pair have shared their own hard-won lessons in disaster planning, and guided participants in useful artifact recovery techniques for a variety national and regional organizations in the past, such as American Association for State and Local History and Southeast Museums Conference. This fall, they’ll focus on training North Carolina’s collections stewards through a combination of presentations and hands-on disaster simulations.

We value the involvement of students, working professionals, and volunteers whose institutional support is insufficient to attend this conference.  NCPC offers a limited number of conference scholarships.  The scholarship is intended to promote continuing preservation education and professional networking.  This scholarship covers full registration.  It does not cover travel, lodging, or other expenses.

The application process is simple and consists primarily of telling us why attendance is important for you.  Applicants must be employed by or volunteer at a North Carolina institution with a preservation mission that has little or no funding for professional development, or be a graduate student enrolled in a preservation related discipline at a college or university in North Carolina.

To apply for a scholarship, please send an email explaining why attendance is important to you to the NCPC Executive Director by October 10^th.  Early registration fees will be honored for any applicants who are not granted a scholarship.

More information on this year’s Annual Conference is online. Early Bird registration ends October 15th.
