Public awareness training.

Preservation of library and archival materials is not only the responsability of institutions and their staff. It is also the responsibility of the public who uses books, prints or archival material for different purposes. Therefore it is very important to educate people how to handle, transport and use these items and to make them aware of their responsibility in the survival of the collections.

Public awareness meetings and trainings can be organised by libraries and archives to heighten the involvement of their lenders and users with the preservation issue.

Schools are also very well situated to make young people conscious of the impact their intervention has on the survival of our cultural heritage.

We can offer talks on following topics:

  • History and production of papyrus, parchment and paper
  • Deterioration of library and archival materials
  • Handling of library and archival materials
  • Preservation, conservation and restoration in general
  • Deterioration and preservation of prints
Talks are illustrated with slides and real objects. Sometimes visits to exhibitions or collections are possible.
