Long Term Preservation of Digital Record

Student Dissertations & Theses - online access & archiving

Chris Woods — Mon, 14 Jul 2008 10:52:44 +0200

A common problem reported by conservation professionals and researchers is that they don't know that someone, somewhere has already produced the information that they need as part of a student research project. Students' bibliographical references can be extremely useful but are rarely seen outside their courses.

Request for Contributions - Conservation Treatment Survey

Chris Woods — Mon, 19 May 2008 18:31:49 +0200

A treatment survey template is attached with this posting. It has been drawn up by members of the international group of conservators who work on archival seals, and who collaborate under the aegis of the ICA (last meeting Oxford 2007) and by member Manuela Belli of Rome, who is completing a Masters thesis on seal conservation. The template is a simple table, published here in Microsoft Excel, into which conservators can input information about the methods they have used to conserve seals of all kinds. The table attached has a few worked examples inserted to assist.

Halon Replacements survey paper

Chris Woods — Mon, 12 May 2008 09:53:32 +0200

Posted here is the text draft of a paper published by the UK Society of Archivists in autumn 2002 under the title Meeting the Montreal Protocol. It is posted for a member who requested such information but may also be of interest to others, perhaps especially archivists or librarians who have yet to meet the protocol's 2003 deadline to replace Halon fire suppression systems with approved alternatives.

Responses to Torah Query

Responses to Torah Query from Members

I have had a number of replies regarding storing a Torah.

From Linda Ramsay at the National Archives of Scotland, reference to conservator Anna Wise of the Wellcome Institute Library in London, who documented a project on Jewish manuscripts that had specific ethical considerations and sensitivity issues for approach.
