Canadian archival records preservation
Canadian archival records preservation involves protecting and maintaining historical and government documents to ensure their longevity for future research and reference. This process includes controlling environmental factors like temperature and humidity, using acid-free materials, and managing physical handling. Proper preservation ensures that records such as photographs, manuscripts, and official documents remain accessible, authentic, and intact over time. Archives follow specialized practices to prevent deterioration caused by aging, pests, and mismanagement, thereby safeguarding Canada's cultural heritage and institutional history for future generations.
