archival preservation

Archival preservation is the process of maintaining and protecting important records, documents, and materials so they can be accessed by future generations. This includes physical items like paper, photographs, and films as well as digital files. Techniques involve controlling environmental factors like temperature and humidity, using proper storage materials, and digitizing items to prevent deterioration. The goal is to ensure that historical, cultural, and valuable information remains intact, accessible, and understandable for research, education, and cultural continuity over time.
