Preservation Assessment Survey Workshop
British Library, London, 26 September 2012
The Preservation Assessment Survey (PAS) is a preservation management tool that enables organisations to quickly gather information on the state of preservation of library or archive collections. It assesses the preservation measures in place (handling procedures, storage conditions, physical protection, environment, security, and emergency planning) alongside demand, usability and significance. Damage to items is also assessed. PAS has been widely used to provide evidence for funding applications, as a planning tool and to support collection management activities.
Designed for library and archive staff, this workshop 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 how to plan a survey, select a statistically valid sample, assess the condition of collection items and identify factors affecting their preservation.
