Newspapers show up in almost every collection in some form or another: folded, bound, clipped, scrapbooked, or even used in artworks! At the same time, they are incredibly fragile, prone to disintegrating over time. How do we even begin approaching their preservation? This webinar will give you a place to start, explaining the reasons why newsprint deteriorates so rapidly and covering a range of different approaches to newspaper preservation as well as tools to help you care for your collection.

Presenter: Saira Haqqi, Senior Conservator, National Archives and Records Administration
