TRADITIONS IN PRESERVATION & CONSERVATION TRAINING

Since its establishment in 1975, the Johns Hopkins University Preservation Department has been dedicated to national preservation education.   With support from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, in 1982 the Mellon Preservation Internship Program was established.  The Internship Program provided four months of training in book structures and paper conversation for library and archival staff who needed more extensive training in basic book repair and preservation administration.  The Internship Program ran from 1982 until 1990.  From 1987-1990, again with support from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, the Preservation Department offered two summer workshops per year on library and archival collection treatment.   In 1993-1994, the National Endowment for the Humanities funded 10 hands-on workshops in basic and advanced preservation techniques.  In this long standing tradition of preservation and conservation education, more than 500 individuals have completed training at MSEL between 1982 and 1990.  You are invited to be part of that tradition.

Courses require pre-registration and may be limited to staff and interested professionals.  In come cases, lectures associated with courses may be open to the public.  Please check details for each workshop.
