Hi Gillian, I am currently working in Switzerland, where they take great pride in re-cycling. That extends to paper and toner cartridges, and could prove a lethal combination. I have identified a need to use higher quality paper and ink for key documents. If you need expert advice about paper in particular, contact Michael Chamberlain at PIRA International by e-mail at [log in to unmask] website: www.piranet.com . For advice ref micro-film, and a case for using it in combination with paper and electronic media, contact Ian Coates at www.archiveimaging.co.uk or the Micro-Film Shop. For advice about preservation/conservation contact Harwell Dry Restoration Services (at Harwell) or Document SOS in London. Best wishes, Mike Marsh.

Subject: Preservation of records
Good afternoon
Hello again to all those that I have known in my former life!
A quick query- I am planning the RM strategy for Kingston. One of the
minor but yet important aspects of the strategy will be state the
preservation requirements of those records which are defined as of
permanent retention from the moment they are created.
Has anyone completed a similar RM Preservation strategy- use of 'permanent
paper ' for those records which have permanent retention.
Has anyone looked at the life of photocopied and laser printed paper?
Has anyone idenfified the risk of using recycled paper for those records
with a particular long life?
Preservation of microfilm/CDs etc should be quite straight forward due to
British Standards but is there anything new?
regards
Gillian
