What Are You Doing for MayDay?
Tell Us and You Could Win a Prize!

Libraries, museums, archives, and arts and historic preservation organizations across the nation are setting aside May 1, 2009, to participate in MayDay, a national effort to prepare for disasters. MayDay encourages organizations to take one simple step to protect the art, artifacts, records, and historic sites they hold in trust.

Prize drawings and a disaster resources sale are two ways Heritage Preservation is celebrating MayDay 2009. To get ideas for MayDay activities, visit www.heritagepreservation.org/programs/tflessons/MayDay.html.

For example The Anthropology Department at The Field Museum in Chicago, IL, a Heritage Preservation member, has assembled a team to complete a final revision of their Risk Mitigation and Recovery Plan. After formally accepting the revised document, it will be distributed to the entire museum staff.
