This British Standard gives recommendations for the long term conservation of archive and library collections. It gives recommendations for managing conservation of collections, starting with organizational policy, strategy and planning, which in turn lead to the identification of prioritized actions and on-going processes that protect collections, such as environmental qualities, repository management and preventive and remedial treatment projects.<\/p>\n
It is applicable to traditional archive and library collections, e.g. documents, books, maps, drawings, prints, photographic materials and the carriers of machine readable records in both analogue and digital format such as video cassettes and CDs.<\/p>\n
It does not include the preservation of digital information and associated metadata.<\/p>\n
