The next NPO Preservation Assessment Survey workshop will be held at the British Library on 7 October 2008.
Designed for libraries and archives, this workshop introduces the survey methodology. You will be able to plan, measure, and compile survey data, and we will demonstrate how the database works.
The NPO's Preservation Assessment Survey tool (PAS) has been used by over 200 libraries and archives in the UK and Ireland since its launch in 2001. Many participants have successfully used the results to support funding bids and to inform internal planning and budgeting for preservation. More information about the survey can be found on our website at http://www.bl.uk/services/npo/paslib.html .
The resulting report, Knowing the need: a national assessment of preservation need in libraries and archives was shortlisted for the Collections Care Award at the Conservation Awards 2007. One judge described the survey as "fantastic value for money, a springboard for action and the place where everyone should start". More details can be found on our website at http://www.bl.uk/services/npo/conservationawards.html .
Workshop fee: £55.00 per person + VAT (including lunch)
