Today I had a lot of fun running a practical #salvage day for GLAMs in #Wales: we had a great time talking about #DisasterPlanning and how to best deal with #collections when they get soggy. 🪣

One of my favs from the salvage buckets were these handwritten pages of training notes from someone: the blue ink was running everywhere and staining everything in its path. Beautiful! Horrific!

I'll be doing another in Bangor soon, so if you missed this one and you're in Wales you should get in touch!

Fun fact: we source our salvage training materials from house clearances (reducing landfill), charity shops (contributing to the local economy AND re-use), and our own homes.

90% of the material is dried and re-used again and again, making it a very sustainable kit.

The bits that don't get saved are almost always paper that still gets dried and then recycled.

We recycle the nitrile gloves participants use during training and re-use things like blotting paper. ♻️
