RVCC Archive Open House In-Person
Memories and treasures should last a lifetime and be passed on to future generations. Sponsored by the American Library Association’s Association of Library Collections & Technical Services, Preservation Week inspires actions to preserve personal, family, and community collections in addition to library, museum, and archive collections. It also raises awareness of the role libraries and other cultural institutions play in providing ongoing preservation education and information. The ALA encourages libraries and other institutions to use Preservation Week to connect our communities through events, activities, and resources that highlight what we can do, individually and together, to preserve our personal and shared collections.
The Evelyn S. Field Library at RVCC will be participating in Preservation Week and you are invited!
