Fundamentals of Preservation
Designed for all
staff across divisions and departments and at all levels of
responsibility, this four-week online course introduces participants
to the principles, policies, and practices of preservation in
libraries and archives and provides tools to begin extending the
useful life of library collections.
The Fundamentals of Preservation will
explore:
- preservation as a formal library function and
how it reflects and supports the institutional mission;
- the primary role of preventive care,
including good storage conditions, emergency planning, and
careful handling of collections;
- the history and manufacture of physical
formats and how this impacts on preservation options;
- standard methods of care and repair, as well
as reformatting options; and
- challenges in preserving digital content and
what the implications are for the future of scholarship.
Session 3 in this web
course series is August 14 to September 8. Session 4 is October 16 to
November 10.
