Preservation Management Certificate

The Preservation Management Institute (PMI) is designed for collections managers and others with an interest in preservation to gain a grounding in the range of preservation issues and technologies. The institute combines classroom learning with guided assignments. PMI is offered biennially beginning in even-numbered years. It includes a full week of classes in the fall, another week in the spring, and a final week during the following fall. Between class sessions participants conduct structured preservation activities in their home institutions, including conducting a preservation survey and drafting a disaster plan. A highlight of the program is the many guest speakers who are national experts in fields such as environmental monitoring, pest control, and preservation of nonprint materials. 

PMI has been offered since 1998 and has received funding from the National Endowment for the Humanities and the New Jersey Historical Commission. Scholarships are sometimes available.
