document preservation

Document preservation refers to the methods and practices used to protect and maintain documents for future generations. This includes physical items like manuscripts, books, and photographs, as well as digital files. The goal is to prevent deterioration, damage, or loss due to factors such as light, moisture, temperature, and handling. Techniques can involve proper storage conditions, careful handling, digitization, and restoration processes. Effective document preservation ensures that valuable historical, cultural, or personal records remain accessible and intact over time, allowing us to learn from and appreciate the past.
