CONCURRENT PRACTICAL SESSIONS
Archives preservation is essentially a set of practical measures that the
archives manager can institute as policy and procedure within the repository
to maximise the longevity of the records in their care. These practical
sessions have been designed to give participants the opportunity to learn
about and try out some of these practical techniques. They cover paper
documents, photographs and handling and packing. A fourth session is a
workshop on policy and strategy development.
Handling, packing and preventative measures
A demonstration with examples of how to maximise the preservation of
documents by good practice in handling and packing.
Simple document cleaning and repair
This session will enable participants to observe and try out simple
techniques for cleaning and repairing documents.
Handling photographs
A practical session giving hands-on information about best practice when
handling photographs.
Developing a conservation strategy/policy
This is a workshop session that will give participants the opportunity to
begin to develop their own ideas for a conservation strategy and/or policy
for their repository.
