With a focus on under-resourced organizations and underrepresented communities, this panel will provide an overview of the basic practices to guide preservation planning and disaster mitigation for collections, funding opportunities, and digital preservation. The California State Library and its partners offer Ready – Or Not, Groundwork Grants, and California Revealed to provide valuable assistance and funding to libraries and other cultural heritage organizations in California. These preservation and digitization projects support collections care, assess an organization’s level of emergency readiness, facilitate the development of emergency plans, and enable the acquisition of supplies, training, and other services to help safeguard library collections. Session panelists and program consultants will provide consulting and advisory services, discuss promising practices, lessons learned, and impacts on participating organizations.
