BOARD… BUT NOT BORED. 📋✨

ICPC is looking for future board members, and we promise it involves considerably more collaboration, preservation enthusiasm, and coffee-fueled ideas than the phrase “board meeting” usually suggests.

Whether you’re a seasoned professional, emerging preservationist, student, or someone passionate about supporting Iowa’s cultural heritage community, we’d love to connect with you. Find out more by visiting our website: iowaconserveandpreserve.org

Help shape:
🖼️ Conferences & programming

Current preservation strategy for people who haven’t registered for SOS 2026 yet:
🫣
“Maybe if I ignore the registration long enough, I’ll simply drift into the conference through archival osmosis.”

Unfortunately, that is not an approved collections care method.

Registration is still needed. 😌

Join us June 26 for:
✔ Preservation case studies
✔ Disaster response activities
✔ Digitization projects
✔ Networking
✔ Venue Tour
✔ Vendors
✔ Enough preservation conversations to fully rehydrate an archivist’s soul

📍 Butterworth Center & Deere-Wiman House
🎟 Register on our website at www.iowaconserveandpreserve.org/
before your “I’ll do it later” pile achieves permanent records status.
