Doing more with less? Forum on preservation skills development
Preservation Advisory Centre - 30 November 2009
British Library Conference Centre, 96 Euston Rd, London NW1 2DB
Library and archive collections are growing: not only the size of collections but
also the breadth of collections and the range of materials they encompass.
How do we develop the skills to look after sound, digital objects and modern
materials alongside more traditional formats? What methods of learning can we
use which maximise investment when resources are tight?
This event is aimed at people from all types of organisation, institution or
collection who have responsibility for the care of library and archive materials.
