The National Preservation Office will hold a training day on
environmental monitoring and control on 22 October 2007 at the British
Library Centre for Conservation. The course is led by Jane Henderson, C
ardiff University. For details and registration see

Participants in this course have said "It was really interesting to hear
and talk about the different ways of collecting data and then how to
interpret it", "a good basis for establishing appropriate environmental
monitoring", and that they would "attack the situation with confidence"
or "be more pro-active in monitoring".
In Knowing the Need, the NPO's report on preservation need in UK
libraries and archives, we found that 58% of material in archives and
88% of material in libraries was not held in an appropriately monitored
and controlled environment. This is one of the most significant
preservation weaknesses we found, and we have developed this training
course to help libraries and archives initiate improvements.
The National Preservation Office has been awarded the CILIP Seal of
Recognition based on an independent review of the content of its courses
and its engagement with the CILIP Body of Professional Knowledge.
Attendance certificates are issued.
