This is shaping up to be a busy year for DHPSNY, and we're ready to get back on the road in March to present our next series of workshops! Archives Specialist Amelia Parks will lead the daylong presentation Essential Policies and Procedures for Cultural Institutions at three locations in New York City, Binghamton, and Syracuse beginning March 7.

We hope everyone had a happy and festive holiday season! We're excited to be back and ready to announce a new slate of programs for 2017. Last fall, DHPSNY's webinars helped New York's institutions develop and implement new funding strategies, rethink the way they house and maintain their collections, and establish best practices for digital preservation. For the New Year, we've lined up another series of free presentations catered to the needs of small- to medium-sized collecting institutions.

Our first round of applications for Planning & Assessment Services closed on October 18, 2016, and the response was fantastic! After receiving applications from every corner of New York State, DHPSNY, with the support of our advisory committee and field reviewers, awarded services to 18 organizations. Congratulations to the following institutions, and thanks again to everyone who applied! Our next application round will open on January 18, 2017, with applications due on March 1, 2017. Continue to check our Planning & Assessment pages in the New Year for the latest application materials and instructions.

This afternoon we concluded DHPSNY's education programming for 2016 with Introduction to Digitization, a webinar packed with helpful information to guide you through the basics of digital preservation. Tamara Talansky, Preservation and Imaging Project Coordinator at the Conservation Center for Art & Historic Artifacts, offered insights on a range of topics, touching on everything from the basics of scanning and storage to equipment and software recommendations, copyright compliance, metadata best practices, and more.

Last week marked the year's third and final presentation of the DHPSNY workshop Understanding Archives: An Introduction to Archival Basics. We anticipated a much colder, potentially snowy journey to Niagara County in late November, but the weather cooperated, and we had a smooth trip and another great turnout.

A special thanks to everyone who attended this week's workshops in Highland and Glens Falls! This was our first time taking DHPSNY's education programming on the road, and it was a great success by all accounts. It was nice to spend time with so many archives, museum, and library professionals and volunteers from institutions throughout the state, and we're looking forward to a third presentation of Understanding Archives: An Introduction to Archival Basics at SUNY Buffalo State on November 29.

If you missed our November 10 webinar, Collections Care Basics: Agents of Deterioration, you can view a recording at the link below! In the latest installment of DHPSNY's webinar series, Program Coordinator Anastasia Matijkiw provides an overview of the essentials of collections care through a discussion of the ten agents of deterioration: physical force; theft and vandalism; fire; water; pests; pollutants; light; incorrect temperature; incorrect relative humidity; and custodial neglect.

DHPSNY's first workshop of the season, Understanding Archives: An Introduction to Archival Basics, begins next week on Tuesday, November 15, at the Southeastern New York Library Resource Council in Highland. From there, we'll head to the Crandall Public Library in Glens Falls for another presentation on Thursday, November 17, and SUNY Buffalo State on Tuesday, November 29. There's still plenty of time left to register for all three installments!
