Preservation projects.

Sometimes a Global Survey or a Screening of the collection leads to the conclusion that specific preservation projects should be undertaken to preserve the collection or part of it .

These projects, mostly part of an overall preservation management policy can be implemented on short- or long-term notice, depending on:

  • Urgency of the project
  • Skills and availability of the necessary personnel
  • Financial and structural means
    • Urgency of the project

In some instances collection items can be subject to degradation that can be limited by constructing preservation enclosures such as phase-boxes or bookshoes, or storing items under different conditions. The urgency of the project depends on how acute the situation is. For example very friable material should be enclosed as soon as possible.

    • Financial and structural means

Preservation projects can of course only be executed when sufficient funds are available for tools, materials and logistic support. Enough and adequate space will be necessary.

    • Skills and availability of necessary personnel

To execute a preservation project, personnel skilled for the jobis necessary. Not only do these people need the necessary skills. They also have to be meticulous and aware of the responsability they have in executing the project.

We are always prepared to initiate a conservation project on site related to your preservation needs. Most of the time our role in the project consists of

  • Initiating the project
  • Supervision of activities and quality control
  • Problemsolving
