.</h1></div> <section id="textstart"><div id="textarea"><article><h3><strong>Website Resources Used Worldwide</strong></h3> <blockquote> <p>I just want to send you all a big THANK YOU for all the preservation information you have collected & presented in such an excellent way on your website. Every visit is pure joy! From the bottom of my heart, thank you for all your hard work! Greetings from Sweden!</p> <p>I am a Master of Library and Information Studies student at UBC in Vancouver, BC and have found the NEDCC site an incredibly useful source for a preservation class!</p> </blockquote> <h3><strong>Preservation Workshops and Webinars</strong></h3> <blockquote> <p>Working in a small institution, webinars like these are invaluable for my professional development, and the future of our organization. We have very little in terms of staff resources and budget, and we do not have a dedicated grant writer, so opportunities such as these are necessary in order to gain additional funding for preservation and other projects.<br><em>— <a href="https://www.nedcc.org/preservation-training/training-currentlist">Writing Your NEH Preservation Assistance Grant Free Webinar</a> participant</em></p> <p>This webinar will help to preserve our photo collection by giving us the information we need in order to do it correctly, which in the long run will save time and money. I will immediately start to identify our “problem” photos and take steps to better preserve them, and then will start placing the rest of our collection in the proper containers for storage. I will also study cold storage options to see if that’s something we can pursue.<br><em><em><em>— <a href="https://www.nedcc.org/preservation-training/training-currentlist">Care and Handling of Photographs Webinar</a></em></em> participant</em></p> </blockquote> <h3><strong>Book and Paper Conservation</strong></h3> <blockquote> <p>We were overcome, amazed, and thrilled with how the scrapbook turned out. The Northeast Document Conservation Center certainly performs magic. Not only is the conservation work you achieved excellent, but in every meeting and communication you all were pleasant and efficient to do business with. We felt you were bending over backwards to help us. Thank you!<br><em><em><em>— Archives </em></em>Client</em></p> <p>I'm so very glad we connected in person. I am totally awed at what has happened to the family album!  It was good to connect with long lost relatives of a younger generation, and great that the album can help to fill in some blanks in our genealogy.<br><em><em><em>— Private </em></em>Client</em></p> <p>I received the charcoal drawing today. The drawing is beautiful, your work superb! Thank you so much for your efforts and more importantly, your care.<br><em><em><em>— </em></em>Museums Client</em></p> </blockquote> <h3>Digital Imaging</h3> <blockquote> <p>Our nautical charts, digital files, and prints arrived safe and sound. Thank you all so much for all of your wonderful work - including packing for safe transport! We will be sure to give you credit in any exhibits, publications, or web offerings we develop. It was a real pleasure working with NEDCC on what, for us, was such a big project. <br><em><em><em>— </em></em>Museums Client</em></p> <p>It was so interesting to replace our old, in-house-produced flatbed scanner photos with the new NEDCC professional-quality photos today, such a change in tonal quality. Like magic the old image morphed into the new one as I replaced each in the public viewing software, quite dramatic! And to make things even better, a new patron just ordered the first four photos for publication in a forthcoming book.  <br><em>— Archives Client</em></p> <p>Just a note to thank you and all the others at NEDCC involved in the imaging and replication of my map of the Ammunition Train’s route in Europe during World War I. The replica’s quality is stunning; the digital images will allow me to share the map’s information with other researchers and descendants. More importantly, both the replica and the digital files make it more likely that the map and the story it represents will survive the coming years as a lasting reminder of the role my grandfather and others in the unit played in The Great War. From the outset, I’ve been delighted with the professionalism and helpfulness of everyone I’ve encountered at NEDCC, and consider myself fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with you.<br><em><em><em>— Museums</em></em> Client</em></p> </blockquote> <h3>Collection-Level Surveys</h3> <blockquote> <p>Many thanks for the quality time we had with Michael Lee at NEDCC during our consultation. Our charitable organization feels the weight of responsibility for our historic, but humble, documents and our conversation with you has headed us in the correct direction. Work to be done! But now we know what to do!</p> <p>Thanks so much for coming to see our collection. We have accomplished a great deal, the end is sight, we trust that we are pointed in the right direction. Especially since the funding for this phase of our work is in now in place. The guidance that you gave us at the beginning of the project was indispensable. It continues to be the basis and the "bible" for our work. And the material from your recent workshop helped us to take a fresh look at best practices. At the same time we have discovered many treasures in our collection in the course of working on the collection. We increasingly rejoice in sharing them with the greater community.</p> </blockquote></article></div> <div id="rightsidebar"><p class="menuhead">About<p> <ul class="sidemenu"><li ><a
