Conservation of Archival Materials

Conservation of archival materials involves careful techniques and practices to preserve historical documents, photographs, and records for future generations. It includes controlling environmental factors like temperature, humidity, and light, as well as repairing and stabilizing fragile items to prevent deterioration or damage. The goal is to maintain the integrity and usability of these materials while respecting their historical significance. Proper conservation ensures that valuable cultural heritage remains accessible, legible, and intact over time, supporting research, education, and public engagement.
