Keep a look out for new digitization this fall: End Conscription Campaign flyers from our Orlando Redekopp collection. The ECC was an anti-apartheid organization composed of conscientious objectors and their supporters to oppose the mandatory enlistment of all white South African men into military service under the apartheid government.

To celebrate, we're featuring our Antique Photography Collection! The collection includes daguerreotypes, tintypes, ambrotypes, and stereograph postcards, as well as film prints.

MayDay kicks off Preservation Week!
Pictured above are unsalvageable slides and negatives from the Archie Lieberman Collection here at CASPC. This material came to us in this condition, and while we were able to keep much of the collection, emergency preparedness could have saved this one-of-a-kind material before it came to the Archives.
May Day reminds us to be prepared and to plan for emergencies that can affect our collections. Society of American Archivists lists many ways individuals and institutions can prepare to save collections in the event of disaster on their website.
