Dear Colleagues,
Please can I draw you attention to the following course.
Preservation Assessment Survey Workshop
Thursday 2nd May 2013
The British Library Centre for Conservation, 96 Euston Road, London NW1 2DB
The Preservation Assessment Survey provides statistical evidence of preservation practice and enables institutions to determine preservation priorities.
This Preservation Advisory Centre workshop is designed for library and archive staff. It introduces the Preservation Assessment Survey methodology and demonstrates the benefits of carrying out a survey. No previous knowledge of preservation is required. Participants will learn to:
• plan a survey
• select a statistically valid sample
• assess the condition of collection items
• identify factors affecting their preservation.
There will be ample opportunity for discussion giving participants the chance to discuss how a survey will work best for their organisation. The workshop includes practical sessions and is popular amongst previous participants "I got a much better background on the purpose and scope of the surveys. They provide a great evidence base for advocacy”.
Workshop fee: £60 +VAT (£72)

The Preservation Assessment Survey (PAS) is a standardised survey methodology which has been used by over 300 libraries and archives in the UK and Ireland since its launch in 2001. Participants have successfully used the results to support funding bids and to inform internal planning and budgeting for preservation.
