    47(2) LRTS 59 The Preservation Evolution A Review of Preservation Literature, 1999–2001 JeanAnn Croft The literature representing 1999 to 2001 reveals that the preservation field is absorbed in an evolution. The literature demonstrates that trusted practices are changing to improve outcomes and further advance the preservation field. Simultaneously, in the wake of the digital revolution, preservation professionals dream about merging traditional and digital technologies in the hope that both long-term preservation and enhanced access will be achieved. This article attempts to relate the values of the discipline in order to inspire further research and persuade more work in formulating hypotheses to integrate preservation the- ory and practice. Finally, this overview of the literature will communicate the scope of the preservation problem, clarify misconceptions in the field, and docu- ment areas that warrant further investigation and refinement. he literature representing 1999 to 2001 reveals that the preservation field is Tcontinually absorbed in an evolution. This literature review examines the trends and customs of the preservation field as documented in the literature, and attempts to relate the values of the discipline in order to inspire further research and persuade more work in formulating hypotheses to integrate preservation theory and practice. Finally, this depiction of the literature will communicate the scope of the preservation problem, clarify misconceptions in the field, and document areas that warrant further investigation and refinement.

Today, the treatment is employed for strengthening weakened paper. Two German conservation centers are chiefly responsible for the development of the process to its current level of sophistication: over the course of more than 30 years, Günter Müller at the Thuringian University and State Library at Jena perfected manual paper splitting; over the same time period, Wolfgang Wächter, now at the Zentrum für Bucherhaltung in Leipzig, developed the paper- splitting machine. We outline the history of paper splitting and describe the contemporary processes from firsthand observations and interviews with the conservators at Jena and Leipzig. Technical evaluations of contemporary paper splitting are summarized, and some observations on objects that were split for the authors are documented (a 19th-century newspaper page, a 17th-century document written in iron gall ink, 17th-century book leaves).

  • Present State of Advocacy and Education for Library Preservation in Japan
    Date 4th version : 25/07/2006 How did we get here? Present state of Advocacy and Education for Library Preservation in Japan Toru Koizumi Rikkyo University Library Tokyo, JAPAN (former Standing Committee member of Preservation and Conservation Section) Meeting: 96 Preservation and Conservation with Continuing Professional Education and Workplace Learning and the Preservation and Conservation Core Activity Simultaneous Interpretation: Yes WORLD LIBRARY AND INFORMATION CONGRESS: 72ND IFLA GENERAL CONFERENCE AND COUNCIL 20-24 August 2006, Seoul, Korea http://www.ifla.org/IV/ifla72/index.htm Abstract: Preservation is the primary mission of the library. Librarians must think of preserving all formats of library resources for future generations. New technology should be developed and informed to librarians. In addition, traditional conservation techniques are to be maintained and known by librarians. I would like to introduce several aspects of preservation and conservation in Japan, such as advocacy of acid-free paper achieved 96% use for publis hed books, the campaign of “preventive conservation” after the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake (1995). In addition, universities have increased conservation courses for cultural property since Japan ratified the convention of World Heritage. Library preservation has many aspects from repairing books to binding, microfilming, mass deacidification, digitizing library materials, disaster planning and so on. Librarians should know all countermeasures in an integrated manner in order to select adequate alternatives. 1 1. Conservation Education at Present Preservation and conservation are called "ho-zon" and "ho-go" in Japanese. It literally means "to keep the existence" or "to maintain the present state”. In this article, I use the "preservation" as a comprehensive, positive, and administratively broader word.

  • Preservation and Conservation of Documents; Problems and Solutions
    -32 Barcelona 1997 - Lligall 12 Janus 1998.1 Preservation and conservation of documents; problems and solutions Helen Forde Head of Preservation Services^ PRO y England INTRODUCTION When I was first invited to give this paper I had some misgivings about the title; I am not capable of producing a global solution to an age-old problem. Problems are comparatively easy - solutions are not. Reflection led me to the conclusion that others, more qualified than I, had also failed to devise a total remedy to the challenges presented by the inevitable decay of archival material. That is comforting. Let us be honest and admit that archival materials are not indestructible, and they were never intended to last indefinitely. We do, however, have to satisfy ourselves that the actions we take now will not accelerate decay, and will not cause our successors greater problems than those posed by the original material itself. The questions I want to explore in this paper concern the current status of preservation and conservation, some of the problems, both theoretical and practical, some possible solutions and the way forward. CURRENT STATUS OF ARCHIVAL PRESERVATION AND CONSERVATION The current status of preservation and conservation seems to be at a watershed after some forty years. There is a sense that the wheel has almost turned full circle - back to basics in the profession if you like - and that preservation is returning to its place as a core activity of everyone involved in libraries and archives. One of the crucial changes is the realisation that access is supported by preservation; consequently increased demand results in increasing need to ensure the survival of the material.

  • Caring for Collections, a Manual of Preventative Conservation Has Been Produced
    December 1999 1 FOREWORDS As part of its strategic plan 1997-2000 the Heritage Council identified the need to produce high quality information on aspects of heritage and also the need to assist people in improving their skills to care for and maintain our heritage. The Heritage Council is delighted that through partnership with the Institute for the Conservation of Historic and Artistic Works in Ireland, this publication, Caring for Collections, a Manual of Preventative Conservation has been produced. Written and researched by Susan Corr, this publication aims to inform the general reader of the basic concepts of collection care and good housekeeping. We hope that it will enable people to plan the long-term future of their collections in an informed way, within the resources available to them. The book will also play a key role in the continuing establishment of museum standards in Ireland. The Heritage Council would like to thank Institute for the Conservation of Historic and Artistic Works in Ireland, and Susan Corr for the help in creating this publication, which should become a vital aid in the care of our heritage. Michael Ryan Chairperson Museums and Archives Committee December 1999 Since 1992, the Institute For The Conservation Of Historic And Artistic Works In Ireland has organised “Caring for Collections” courses annually. In 1999, an extra one was held, funded by the Heritage Council, which was very successful. Because they appreciate that they are ultimately responsible for the artefacts in their collections, museum staff want training in this area. However the Institute does not have the resources to expand the course, either in terms of treating each topic in greater detail, or enlarging the syllabus.

  • “We Have to Move Forward!” the Slovak Minority in the Kingdom of Yugoslavia in 1935–1939
    “WE HAVE TO MOVE FORWARD!” THE SLOVAK MINORITY IN THE KINGDOM OF YUGOSLAVIA IN 1935–1939 VLATKA DUGAČKI – MILAN SOVILJ DUGAČKI, Vlatka – SOVILJ, Milan. “We Have to Move Forward!” The slovak minority in the Kingdom of Yugoslavia in 1935–1939. Historický časopis, 2020, 68, 5, pp. 815–839, Bratislava. The paper “We Have to Move Forward!” focuses on presenting the or- ganisation and position of the Slovak minority in the Kingdom of Yugo- slavia, placing emphasis on the period between the elections for the Na- tional Assembly in 1935 and the establishment of the Banat of Croatia in 1939. Special attention was paid to the minority’s viewpoints on the Kingdom’s internal politics, as well as, externally, the conditions in the mother country, that is, Czechoslovakia and Slovakia after the first half of March 1939. The research required the use of archived materials from the Croatian State Archives in Zagreb and the Slovak National Archives in Bratislava, the Slovak minority newspapers, which, among other things, helped reconstruct the zeitgeist, and also the published sources and rele- vant literature. Although the Slovaks inhabited the entire territory of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, it is important to mention that the representative area used for this research was the Danube Banat (mostly the area of the present day Vojvodina and Baranja), which was most densely populated by the Slovak minority. Keywords: Slovak minority. Kingdom of Yugoslavia. Banat of Croatia. Czechoslovakia. Slovak Republic. Interwar period. DOI: https://doi.org/10.31577/histcaso.2020.68.5.3 Introduction In the interwar period, the Yugoslav state represented a very heterogeneous for- mation with regard to its political, social and national structure.
