Writing and using a preservation policy

Jonathan Rhys-Lewis

BL11  4 November 2015

London

A preservation policy provides the opportunity for an organisation to structure a framework for thinking about the long-term impacts of collections management. This training day on preservation policies explains the purpose and benefits of a preservation policy, provides guidance on writing a policy for your organisation and gives examples of how policies are used by a number of different organisations. By the end of the day, participants will be able to:

 

•             Analyse how best to establish preservation as a key objective of the organisation

•             explain what a preservation policy is and how it links to other strategic and business planning documents

•             identify what needs to be included in a preservation policy and why

•             describe issues that need to be considered when implementing a preservation policy

•             create an action plan for writing or reviewing their own organisation's preservation policy.

 

The day is led by preservation and collections management consultant Jonathan Rhys-Lewis (ACR). 

 

Cost:  £128
