Since preservation is one of the main concerns of archives and libraries, preservation projects will constantly be part of preservation management. Preservation projects can be initiated as individual projects or can be part of a global preservation effort. Often preservation projects are initiated after being advised as part of a Global Survey or a Collection Screening.

Preservation activities can of course be outsourced to private enterprises, but there are some good arguments in keeping certain preservation activities indoors. Some of these arguments are

Safer for the objects involved because there is

no need for transportation
no handling by external people
less risk of damage and theft

It is an investment in the knowledge and motivation of own personnel because acquired knowledge can be used in other situations
More control and possibility of assessment of the project on site
Being cheaper once the necessary workstations are available

We can offer you training for preservation projects in situ. The training is cut to size to your preservation project. We can initiate the project, train the personnel involved, supervise the activities and act as problemsolver.
