Ann Marie Willer (Project Director: May 2017 to March 2021)

A preservation field service program that provides assessments, workshops and seminars (in-person and online), technical consultations, and disaster assistance to libraries, archives, and other cultural heritage repositories, predominantly in the Northeast.

In 2018-2019 NEDCC will integrate new and expanded services and programs into its preservation field services, and continue to deliver comprehensive preservation information to small- and mid-sized organizations. Programs will include a special focus on delivering preservation training, consultations, and resources to underserved and NEH-named incentive areas across the country, while reducing costs and impact of travel by employing specialists in distributed locations. NEDCC will continue to expand training programs and services around preservation of audiovisual and digital collections. Through a varied program of workshops, webinars, online courses, conferences, consultations, assessments, reference services, and disaster assistance, NEDCC will continue to help organizations improve preservation practices and provide a level of expert knowledge to institutions that is not readily available at the state or local level.
