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).
