Do deteriorated and crumbling 19th century book and paper collections
comprise a large part of your library or archive? Which reformatting
technique will best preserve this material for the long term? Digital
technology is the choice to enhance access, but the Council on Library

standard" for preserving the intellectual content of brittle, endangered
materials.

microfilm projects, selecting and preparing materials, microfilm
technology and equipment, standards, inspection, and quality control,
agents of film deterioration, and proper microfilm storage. 

Workshop includes a hands-on quality control exercise including film
inspection, and a tour of a microfilming operation.
