Do you look after books and
documents? Do you want to learn more about ways to protect and preserve
them? This training day is aimed at those who are new to the preservation
of library and archive collections and would like to learn more.
The day starts with an overview of
preservation, risk management and prioritization. Subsequent sessions
focus on storage of collections; how to handle items; emergency response and
digital preservation.
Previous
attendees found that the day gave a “good
overview of issues - feel generally better informed.” and
helped with “options for storing
material, key environmental issues, best handling methods. Lots more
little bits of very helpful
information.”
Cost: £95 +
VAT including lunch and refreshments (£71 + VAT for members of Research
Libraries UK)
