 2022 NCPC Conference

A Potluck of Preservation Topics

Bringing preservation professionals together to share ideas is one of the hallmarks of the annual NCPC conference. Each year we look forward to welcoming many voices to the table to celebrate preservation efforts across the state and to learn from one another. This year’s conference takes as its theme a metaphorical potluck. Recognizing that there are a wide variety of projects, interests, and challenges in the field, NCPC invites proposals on any topic that the preservation community feels is important. We are embracing a broad theme and keeping an open mind to find out what’s cooking in cultural heritage.

Conference Update: Due to leadership transitions and other logistical concerns, NCPC has decided to change the format for its 2022 annual conference. Rather than holding this year’s conference on a single day, we will be spreading out our “potluck” of preservation topics throughout the fall, spring, and summer. We hope you will join us for these upcoming programs and presentations. Stay tuned!

Editor’s note: Early meetings were combined with a workshop or presentation around a theme. For purposes of the archives, we have grouped these early meetings-with-workshops under “Conferences.” 

*In 1994 it was noted that the Annual Meeting would take place in January 1995, but we haven’t found the record of that meeting.
