Caring for Collections Workshop, Part 2: 23/03/24

£25.00

Preservation and access: this workshop examines the issues of preserving and providing access to records. Papers and documents need to be preserved from threats including damp and mould, pests, pollution, poor handling and disasters. Digital records must be protected from equally devastating threats. Digitisation of records can aid both in their preservation and in providing increased access but brings its own challenges. Finally, we look at the potential of online access, and the issues such as copyright and privacy which this raises.
