Heritage Preservation has already made presentations at the 2006 American Library Association mid-winter meeting in San Antonio and to the Institute of Museum and Library Services’ National Museum and Library Board in early March.

Samples from the Heritage Health Index PowerPoint presentations will be posted on the “Selected Data” page of www.heritagehealthindex.org. Coming soon on the site will be slides pertaining to digital materials, small institutions, museums and historical societies, and natural science collections. We encourage colleagues to use Heritage Health Index data in their own presentations, grant requests, or other reports. Contact us at survey@heritagepreservation.org if you would like PowerPoint slides of any graphs you see on the Web site or in the Heritage Health Index reports.
