When responding to a emergency involving your collections: What do you do first? Who do you call? How do you prevent further damage? With our Guide, form a response team to deal with multiple tasks, including working with emergency responders, assessing and documenting damage, ensuring health and safety of staff, and setting up a salvage operation. Stabilize your collections with advice from professionals on handing the most common types of damage from water, mold, corrosion, pests, and other threats. Customize handy checklists for your institution and find vital conservation resources.

The step-by-step instructional videos and helpful forms that were included with earlier editions of the Field Guide can now be accessed here, on the Field Guide page.
