Historical NoteReturn to Top
University of Washington Libraries Preservation Services staff manage many programs designed to extend the life of the UW Libraries collections. These activities can be divided roughly into two categories: Preventive Preservation; and Reformatting, Repair, and Treatment.
Preventive Preservation focuses on preventing damage to the collections as a whole, including: disaster planning and recovery; environmental monitoring; and collections care, training & outreach.
Reformatting, Repair, and Treatment focuses on processing, reformatting, treating, and/or repairing items so that they can be used for as long as possible. Reformatting specifically focuses on reproducing deteriorating collections onto more stable media to preserve their informational content and/or providing greater access to fragile original materials that have restricted handling due to their condition. Because preservation funding is finite, efforts focus on high-use, valuable, and vulnerable materials. Programs include: marking; binding; conservation; preservation replacement & reformatting; digital preservation; and microfilm duplication service.
Preservation Services opened a new conservation center in 2016.
