Preservation
The Preservation Department's fundamental role is to safeguard the collections from harm while enabling continued and appropriate access to them.
The department comprises of a small team of trained professionals and support staff who manage and supervise preservation work streams and initiatives across all BL sites (a separate Preservation North division is based in the BL's Document Supply Centre in Boston Spa, caring specifically for the collections in that environment). All of our activities are underpinned by our core preservation principle of risk management and mitigation. To learn more about what we do, please click on the links below
