BS 4971:1999 Repair and Allied Procedures for the Conservation of Documents
This British Standard is a rewrite of the BS 4971 part 1 & 2. The committee
headed by John MacIntyre includes heads of conservation from national
institutions, and representatives from professional bodies and the bookbinding
trade. BS 4971 is now available as a 'draft for public comment'.
Individuals or organisations can buy copies from BSI in order to make comments
on the draft.
The new standard is very different from its predecessor. Much of the previous
Standard was instructional in practice methods. The new Standard emphasises
principles and practices, and is less proscriptive.
Comments must be received by the end of May 2000.
Copies can be bought from BSI Customer Services tel. 0208996 9001, fax. 020 8996
7001, e-mail [log in to unmask] The reference number for the draft is
00/623800.
