A brand new and fully updated edition of this seminal work on archival preservation. Access to archival material - the documentary heritage of people all over the world that gives them their identity and ensures their rights - is dependent on the survival of fragile materials: paper, parchment, photographic materials, audiovisual materials and, most recently, magnetic and optical formats. The primary importance of such survival is widely acknowledged but sometimes overlooked in a rush to provide ever better means of access. But without the basic material, no services can be offered. Preservation is the heart of archival activity. Archivists in all types of organizations face questions of how to plan a preservation strategy in less than perfect circumstances, or deal with a sudden emergency. This book considers the causes of threats to the basic material, outlines the preservation options available and offers flexible solutions applicable in a variety of situations. It offers a wide range of case studies and examples from international specialists. This revised edition also includes a new chapter on the management and training of volunteers, reflecting a key concern for many archival institutions. This is a vital handbook for professional archivists, but also for the many librarians, curators and enthusiasts, trained and untrained, in museums, local studies centres and voluntary societies in need of good clear advice

The emergence of digital technologies in the realm of archives has enlivened our understandings of archival materialities and lent a new intensity to our engagements with the archived page by prompting us to consider the potential of paper and the page in ways that we have hitherto largely ignored. Paper, Materiality and Archived Page responds to this provocation by setting out an approach or an orientation to ‘thinking through paper’. Critically, it questions what work the archived page does if it is more than an invisible or transparent support to text. Three exemplary case studies are offered on the letters of Greta Garbo, the messy archival remains of Australian writer Eve Langley and the letters and manuscripts of English poet Valentine Ackland. Together they demonstrate how approaches grounded in concerns with materiality and matter can shift how we understand archival research and what we accept as archival ‘evidence’. They also reveal the emergent capacities of the paper page.

Zugänglichkeit ist nicht einfach vorhanden, sondern geht laufend verloren, muss neu geschaffen oder erhalten werden: Anders als es der statische Begriff der kulturellen Überlieferung vermuten lässt, steuern vielfältige Mechanismen die Zugänglichkeit von Information über die Zeit hinweg. Hierzu zählen gesellschaftliche Prozesse ebenso wie Verlust-, Erhaltungs-, Auswahl- und Wiedergewinnungsprozesse. Während Untersuchungen zur kulturellen Überlieferung meist in Einzeldiskursen verhaftet bleiben, erarbeitet dieser Band eine interdisziplinäre Sicht auf die Langzeitzugänglichkeit von Informationen und präsentiert Beiträge aus Informatik, Bibliotheks- und Archivwesen, Kulturwissenschaft, Philologien und Restaurierungspraxis sowie Museumswesen. Ziel ist es, enge Fachsichten aufzulösen und Erkenntnisse über eine fachübergreifende systematische Überlieferungsplanung zu gewinnen.

Memory institutions such as libraries, archives, galleries and museums all share pressing concerns about preserving heritage, whether in the form of material and documentary cultural artefacts in collections, or in the form of new digitally born material. Recent incidents of natural disaster and cultural genocide, together with the global turn to digitization, have forced librarians, archivists and curators to rethink and restructure their primary modes of operation. Preservation management now sits at the top of the agenda for heritage institutions around the world, as collection development policies and practices are negotiated between libraries, museums, archives, funding agencies and governments. Historically separate cultural institutions are now converging to share limited resources, develop compatible ideologies and co-ordinate distributed collections. This forward-looking collection charts the diversity of preservation management in the contemporary information landscape, and offers guidance on preservation methods for the sustainability of collections from a range of international experts. The authors are connected to a wide international network of professional associations and NGOs, and have been selected not only for their specific expertise, but for the contribution they are making to the future of preservation management. The chapters cover: managing the documentary heritage: issues for the present and future; preservation policy and planning; intangible heritage: museums and preservation; surrogacy and the artefact; moving with the times in search of permanence; a valuation model for paper conservation research; preservation of audiovisual media: traditional to interactive formats; challenges of managing the digitally born artefact; preserving cultural heritage in times of conflict; and access and the social contract in memory institutions redefining 'the collection' in the 21st century. There is urgent need for heritage management initiatives and robust disaster planning that will safeguard our cultural heritage and recognize the right of the end-user to ownership of it. This is an informed and essential guide to managing collection and preservation strategies for anyone working in the library, archive, museum or broader cultural heritage sectors.
