2006
A practical hands-on morning was organised in 2006 at Glasgow University Archives. Linda Ramsay and two other conservators from the National Archives of Scotland very kindly agreed to be present as teams attempted to deal with the aftermath of a flood and the consequent very soggy papers. Presentations about dealing with a disaster and Disaster Box contents were given by Carol Parry and Heather Mackay respectively. Carol Parry’s presentation can be downloaded from the GADPN Resources page.
