Skills and knowledge for the 21st century    
 
British Library Preservation Advisory Centre - the new name for the
National Preservation Office

The British Library Preservation Advisory Centre is the new name for the
National Preservation Office (NPO). The change of name follows the NPO's
recent integration with the British Library Collection Care department
and heralds the start of a new period of development for preservation
services.
 
The Preservation Advisory Centre will build on the NPO's achievements of
the past 25 years, and the successes of the recently opened BL Centre
for Conservation, providing a focus for preservation and increasing
opportunities for libraries and archives of all types and sizes to equip
themselves with the skills and knowledge to meet the challenges of
caring for collections in the 21st century.

Offering training, free information services and its unique Preservation
Assessment Survey, the Preservation Advisory Centre provides practical
support on preservation management issues to address the major threats
to the UK's library and archive collections identified in the NPO's 2006
report, Knowing the Need.

Activities span a range of free and charged services including:
 
*        Free information resources in print and to download
 
*        Preservation training courses
 
*        Preservation Assessment Survey services
 
*        Preservation visits
 
*        An enquiry service
 
Caroline Peach has been appointed to lead the organisation in its new
form. Recently interim Chief Executive of Icon, the Institute of
Conservation, she brings experience of working at London Metropolitan
Archives, Oxford University Library Services and the London Museums Hub.
Caroline said, "I am delighted to be joining the British Library
Preservation Advisory Centre. I am looking forward to working with
partners across the sector to inspire organisations of all sizes to take
part in preservation activities. I am particularly pleased that we will
soon be able to offer a new programme of preservation training thanks to
the collaboration and funding of the British Library and Research
Libraries UK".

Helen Shenton, Head of Collection Care at the British Library said, "The
integration of the NPO with the British Library as the British Library
Preservation Advisory Centre marks a significant development for
Collection Care at the British Library. The events and services provided
by the Preservation Advisory Centre complement the successful public
programmes offered by the BL Centre for Conservation. Sharing knowledge
to address preservation needs and to build capacity within the Library
and Archive sectors is fundamental to ensure the future accessibility of
collections. I am delighted that the Preservation Advisory Centre is
leading on these issues."
