Learn how to keep your paper-based collection (archive, library, art on paper) safe, secure and preserved for the future.
(Note that this course is presented in association with the one-day course ‘Preserving Paper Collections Part 2’. The courses are designed as a seamless whole with Part 1 aimed more at the management and preservation of paper-based collections and Part 2 looking more at the conservation of paper-based materials. Participants can choose one course that meets their needs, or attend both for a broader experience.)
This course gives an introduction to a broad field that has applications in libraries, archives, museums and galleries.
Anyone with an interest in the preservation of historic paper-based collections.
