PSU Libraries Preservation, Conservation and Digitization

Glad to help our local efforts!

The PSU Libraries Preservation, Conservation and Digitization department has added a supply of 82 N95 surgical masks to the growing collection of personal protective equipment (PPE) items that Penn State is donating to Mount Nittany Health Foundation for use by the health system’s employees during the COVID-19 pandemic. The Libraries’ Conservation Centre had the masks on hand in case of a disaster emergency involving moldy materials. “We are glad they can now be used for a medical emergency,” said Sue Kellerman, Judith O. Sieg Chair for Preservation.
