Here is where we need your help – We are especially focused on prioritizing outreach to individuals and organizations in communities that have been systemically
under-resourced and may have had limited access to training, resources, and professional networks. As we, like many other organizations doing much needed inclusion work, prepare for what may transpire in the coming months and years to interrupt this work,
we are reminded that this work is and has always been people-powered. We need your help in ensuring that ALL collections in our state, particularly those most vulnerable to the coming attacks on equity, are aware and encouraged to access these resources. Please
forward this email (newsletter is included at the bottom) along to your contacts, and feel free to send me organizations and collections that could use additional encouragement and support through the application process, I am happy to guide them through it.
We’ve also shared these opportunities on our social media channels, if sharing through there is an option.?

About the
(CIPP)
?
With support from the National Endowment for the Humanities, the California Arts Council, and the Prebys Foundation, BACC has launched The California Inclusive Preservation
Program (CIPP), a key initiative of BACC that reflects our commitment to inclusive, accessible, and sustainable conservation efforts.
CIPP consists of
virtual lectures,
in-person workshops, and
collaborative learning opportunities aimed at increasing preservation knowledge among small to midsize collections throughout California. While open to all California-based collections staff
and caretakers, CIPP highly encourages applications from those responsible for collections care in organizations that may lack resources and access to training.
Through CIPP, we aim to provide accessible museum-quality collections care training, expand the knowledge base of professionals, create a supportive network for diverse collections care
professionals, and ensure that the heritage of underrepresented cultural groups is preserved as part of our national narrative. ?
