Advocacy, Evidence, Support

Free Event

Tuesday 13 July 2010

National Library of Ireland
Kildare Street, Dublin 2
Location Details

This free event is one of a series being held at different locations in Scotland, England, Wales and Ireland.

With increased pressure on resources and many organisations facing funding cuts it can be difficult to make the case for long-term, core activities such as preservation. Most institutions want what preservation achieves: ensured continuity of access to collections. This event explores how to make the case for preservation in terms of the outcomes it achieves and value to the organisation. It promotes use of the Preservation Assessment Survey as a method of collecting evidence of preservation strengths and weaknesses, and it outlines the Preservation Advisory Centre’s work to refresh the overall picture of preservation practice and usability of library and archive collections in the UK and Ireland.

It is aimed at librarians, archivists and collection care professionals. The event builds the community of practice that is necessary for professional sharing of expertise and support in libraries and archives. Each event showcases examples of collaborative work, networks and support available for preservation and conservation activities. This event is generously supported by the National Library of Ireland.
