CLIR to develop Web-based tutorials on preservation for Southeast Asia  
 
 
The Henry Luce Foundation has awarded a grant to CLIR to develop Web-based tutorials on preservation and conservation for use in Southeast Asia. The tutorials will enable librarians, archivists, preservation administrators, and other cultural information practitioners to acquire basic and reliable preservation information, and to develop strategies and responses to preservation challenges distinctive to their climate, culture, resources, and content. 
The initiative will be directed by Anne R. Kenney, Director of Programs at CLIR and Associate Director of Cornell University's Department of Preservation, and John F. Dean, Director of the Department of Preservation. Work began in June and the first modules are scheduled for implementation soon. Look here.
 
  
"I am very pleased that CLIR will be able to expand its work in preservation awareness to Southeast Asia. We look forward to building new partnerships there, and are grateful to the Henry Luce Foundation for its support of this project," said CLIR President Deanna Marcum.
 
After the tutorials have been implemented and evaluated in Southeast Asia, CLIR anticipates adapting the modules for use in other regions of the world.
