Archive preservation

Archive preservation is the practice of protecting and maintaining important historical records, documents, and artifacts so they remain accessible over time. This involves controlling environmental factors like light, humidity, and temperature, using specialized storage materials, and sometimes digitizing items to prevent physical deterioration. The goal is to ensure that valuable information stays intact for future research, education, and cultural understanding. Proper preservation helps prevent the loss of irreplaceable knowledge and ensures that historical materials remain available for generations to come.
