Writing and using a preservation policy
Preservation Advisory Centre training day
21 May 2013: British Library, London
What are you keeping, for how long and why? What measures can you put in place to ensure sustainable use and enhanced access to collections over time?
A preservation policy provides clarity, accountability and structure for organisations seeking to manage collections over the long-term. This training day is aimed at librarians, archivists and collections managers with responsibility for policies, strategies and planning. Whether you are writing a preservation policy for the first time or revising it, this training will provide you with a framework to build a policy and then put it into practice. It includes case studies and the opportunity to begin to write your policy under the guidance of preservation and collections management consultant Jonathan Rhys-Lewis (ACR). Previous attendees found that the day helped with "distinctions between policy, strategy, guidelines and action plans" and provided "practical information regarding how to develop an effective policy and what to include/exclude from it."
Cost: £105 + VAT (including lunch and refreshments).
