Shortly after sending last week's message reminding everyone of the list
of resources linked from the NCSHPO website, I received an e-mail from
the Heritage Preservation Emergency National Task Force reminding of the
resources that they provide. Below are a list of additional links,
which will be updated and included in the list on our website.
* Disaster resources for libraries, archives, museums, and historic
sites and districts are available at
www.heritagepreservation.org/programs/TFHurricanePub.htm
<http://www.heritagepreservation.org/programs/TFHurricanePub.htm> .
* An assessment form, supply lists, and other tools from the Field Guide
to Emergency Response can be downloaded at
www.heritagepreservation.org/pubs/fgforms.htm
<http://www.heritagepreservation.org/pubs/fgforms.htm> .
* The American Institute for Conservation of Historic & Artistic Works
maintains a force of 64 "rapid responders" trained to assess damage and
initiate salvage of cultural collections after a disaster has occurred.
Cultural institutions needing assistance should contact the AIC office
at 202-452-9545 for a referral.
* Many regional conservation centers offer free telephone advice and
other services. Contact the Regional Alliance for Preservation at
1-800-843-8492.
* "Save Your Treasures the Right Way" provides simple guidelines for the
public to help them salvage family photographs and other heirlooms. A
copy is attached. Find other resources for the public at
www.heritagepreservation.org/programs/TFHurricanePub.htm
<http://www.heritagepreservation.org/programs/TFHurricanePub.htm> .
Additionally, attached are two documents which you may find either
interesting or useful - one is damage summary as of Friday, and the
other is information on steps to take to preserve historic artifacts.
Please share this information with anyone you think could use it.
Also, if you have reports of damage or response efforts, you can forward
them to taskforce@heritagepreservation.org
<mailto:taskforce@heritagepreservation.org> . The task force will
continue to monitor the situation and will send out another update next
week, which I will forward on to you.
In the meantime, stay safe, stay dry and keep in touch.
Best,
Kristen
