Preservation Week Speakers Bureau
ALA encourages libraries and other institutions to use Preservation Week to connect our communities through events, activities, and resources that highlight what we can do to preserve our personal and shared collections.
The Preservation Week Speakers Bureau is a directory of library and archival professionals who are available to speak to your community on preservation and conservation topics. Speakers are available to present on the general preservation of collections or specific topics such as papers, photographs, stuffed animals, records, and much more.
Contact the speaker directly to make arrangements for an intriguing presentation on preservation!

Fees Depends. I usually do whole day workshops on Book Repair and Preservation. I can change my presentation for different crowds. I have taught students, archivists, public librarians, genealogists and even historians in a variety of age groups. Supplies should be covered for the book repair workshops. I often call vendors for endorsement. I really enjoy teaching and outreach so I go out of my way to volunteer for these types of important training workshops.
