On Tuesday, October 28, the Staff Development Committee sponsored a screening of the film Slow Fires: On the Preservation of the Human Record. The film is about how library and archival materials such as books, other paper-based materials, photographs, film, and sound recordings deteriorate due to the composition of the materials and environmental factors.
Information about the film can be found here.
Afterwards, manuscripts curator Jennifer Motszko led a discussion about environmental and storage policy best practices.
25 staff and faculty attended the screening and enjoyed classic movie candy!
