    • Abstract:
      Summary: "Here, in one volume, is a wide range of topic-specific expertise that is both an enduring text for preservation students and an essential one-stop reference for cultural heritage professionals--particularly those in small- to medium-sized organizations where resources are limited and professional help is not always at hand. The authors introduce the reader to the essential tools and principles of a preservation management program in the 21st century, addressing the realities of diverse collections and materials and embracing the challenges of working with both analog and digital collections. The sections on planning and managing a preservation program contain the basic starting points for any kind of collection, regardless of size and content. Written with the small collection in mind, the principles are nevertheless scalable and widely applicable."--Page [4] of cover.
