Preservation Advisory Centre
training day
British Library, London:

Ensuring the safe use of collections by
staff and readers is both good practice and a cost-effective method of
preventing damage. This training day is
aimed at library and archive staff with responsibility for writing, implementing
or promoting handling and use policies. The day communicates the role of good
handling practices in the preservation of library and archive collections,
outlines methods of promoting good handling practices within organisations and
to users, and provides information that supports library and archive staff with
the implementation of handling policies. It is led by Jane Pimlott and Sarah
Hamlyn of the British Library.
