Heritage Preservation

The Texas State Library and Archives Commission will lead a team of partners representing statewide collaborative projects (American Association for State and Local History, Clemson University [SC]; Florida Association of Museums; Maine State Museum; Newark Museum [NJ]; Washington State Library; Oklahoma Department of Libraries; South Dakota State Historical Society; Board of Library Commissioners for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts) that will work with IMLS to develop the Connecting to Collections Continuing Conversation Exchange, a series of meetings planned, managed, and hosted by recipients of Connecting to Collections Statewide Planning Grants. This project will add value to the Connecting to Collections Initiative, expanding opportunities for continuing professional development for 300 librarians and cultural heritage experts responsible for statewide collections.
