MayDay MayDay!
By Donna DiMichele | May 1, 2014
Today is MayDay. For some that means a traditional New England May Breakfast and for others it’s International Workers Day. For librarians, archivists and other cultural heritage stewards it’s also the day they pledge “do just one thing” for preservation in their library or archive.
Protecting the Past – RI promoted MayDay by creating and distributing bookmarks with suggestions for MayDay actions. But those suggestions are useful year round.
Heritage Preservation, a national leader in cultural heritage preservation, encourages libraries, museums, archives, historical societies, and preservation organizations to set aside May 1 to participate in MayDay. From April 1 through May 31, Heritage Preservation will offer its award-winning Field Guide to Emergency Response and Emergency Response and Salvage Wheel at special MayDay prices. The ERS: Emergency Response and Salvage app remains free of charge for Apple, Android, and BlackBerry devices.
What’s your “one thing” for preservation?
