Free Core webinar for Preservation Week: Collecting and Preserving after
Tragedy

Date: Tuesday, April 27, 2021

All webinars are one hour in length and begin at 11 am Pacific, noon
Mountain, 1 pm Central, and 2 pm Eastern time.



Description: Following the 2016 Pulse Nightclub shooting in Orlando, FL,
the Orange County Regional History Center launched an extensive rapid
response collecting initiative to preserve the history of the tragic event
and the community’s response. The Collections Manager, Whitney Broadaway,
will share how the museum collected at memorial sites and inside the club,
especially concerning the stabilization and preservation of items that
underwent heavy exposure to the elements. The webinar will also discuss how
the care of the collected items continued behind the scenes and is ongoing
still today.

Learning outcomes:

This would serve as an introductory to rapid response collecting. Similar
to disaster preparedness programs, attendees will leave with a general
overview of how to stage a rapid response collecting effort should they
need/want to and some dos and don'ts that we learned along the way.

Who should attend?

Anyone who may encounter rapid response collecting in their career or may
find themselves caring for a condolence collection.

Presenter:

Whitney Broadaway is the Collections Manager at the Orange County Regional
History Center where she helped create the One Orlando Collection following
the 2016 Pulse Nightclub shooting. Previously she was the book conservator
for Special Collections & University Archives at UCF. She received a fine
art degree from UCF with a focus in printmaking and bookbinding, and has
over 10 years of experience caring for collections in both museums and
library archives.
