Preservation in Libraries

Preservation in libraries refers to the measures taken to protect and maintain books, manuscripts, and other materials for future generations. This includes storing items in controlled environments to prevent decay, repairing damaged items, and using proper handling techniques to avoid wear and tear. Libraries also adopt digital preservation strategies to ensure that digital resources remain accessible despite changing technology. Ultimately, preservation efforts help safeguard cultural heritage and knowledge, ensuring that valuable information can be enjoyed and studied by future readers and researchers.
