Inspired by the many conversations happening here on the AIC Communities and beyond, the BPG Executive Council has been working on a new shared GoogleSheet document
Conservation & Working From Home (WFH) (click link or image )
that gathers resources and ideas to support our community's remote work and research related to book and paper conservation during COVID-19 quarantines.
A continual work-in-progress (we're doing this on the fly!), the information is organized within a GoogleSheets spreadsheet into tabs as listed below. It is not intended to replace any of our other knowledge gathering efforts like the Wiki but is intended to serve as a warehouse for the links and ideas that are being shared within our communities.
Contributors can add links and keyword information for all kinds of resources into color-coded tabs under these categories:
KEY: for an overview of how to use and contribute.
Upcoming events: list upcoming events and webinars here, popular topics will certainly quickly fill up so monitor this frequently and add new items
COVID-19: global pandemic, health, safety, and cultural heritage
Preservation/Conservation: preservation, preventive conservation, treatment, materiality, research
WFH Ideas: ideas for remote work
Learning: general list of professional development ideas, on-line learning resources, MOOCs, etc.
DH & Data: digital humanities projects and data/technical resources
Equity & Inclusion: diversity, equity, and inclusion for cultural heritage
Self: self-improvement, wellness
More: entertainment, movies, books
Help/Admin: post questions and ideas for editing/improving
Thank you in advance for your contributions and support to make this crowd-sourced compendium of resources grow more robust and stronger!
