Subject: PRESERVATION MANUAL
>NEW EXPANDED EDITION OF NEDCC S PRESERVATION MANUAL
>
> The Northeast Document Conservation Center (NEDCC) announces the
>publication of the third edition of Preservation of Library & Archival
>Materials: A Manual, in hardcover. This revised and expanded edition,
>edited by Sherelyn Ogden, has been available electronically on the NEDCC
Web
>site since March 1999, but this is the first time it has appeared in
printed
>form. Rapid technical changes and their impact on the preservation
>profession prompted NEDCC to update and expand the manual by adding
>important contemporary topics that were not included in the previous
>edition. The Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), a Federal
>agency that fosters innovation, leadership and a lifetime of learning, has
>supported this project. In addition, NEDCC receives major funding for its
>field service program from the National Endowment for the Humanities.
>
>The purpose of the manual is to provide the basic, practical information
>needed to enable non-conservator staff of libraries, archives, and museums
>to plan and implement sound collections care programs. It is intended for
>those who must make decisions that affect preservation of collections, or
>who want to upgrade standards of care in order to better preserve
materials.
>
>The manual is approximately 412 pages in length and is comprised of 50
>individual technical leaflets. Every leaflet from the first two editions
>has been updated to reflect new information and changing opinions. In
>addition, the third edition contains eight new leaflets, including Digital
>Technology Made Simpler; The Relevance of Preservation in a Digital World;
>Preservation Assessment and Planning; An Introduction to Fire Detection,
>Alarm, and Automatic Fire Sprinklers; Collections Security: Planning and
>Prevention for Libraries and Archives; and more. The manual is one of few
>preservation publications written in layman s language that is an
>authoritative reference source for up-to-date scientific research.
Sections
>include planning and prioritizing, the environment, emergency management,
>storage and handling, reformatting, and conservation procedures.
>Professional illustrations make the "how-to" leaflets easy to understand
and
>use.
