With the help of a Special Opportunity Grant, Nadia Magalski attended the Eastman Music Preservation Institute. In this class, she gained real-world experience of running a preservation department in a music library, particularly how to repair items, digitize items, and maintain special collections and closed stacks. Magalski says, “I gained insight into the care required to maintain a large music collection and explored ways to make these items accessible for long-term use, a perspective that often goes overlooked in traditional preservation efforts.”
