Preservation of documents

Preservation of documents involves maintaining and protecting important records from deterioration, damage, or loss over time. This process includes proper storage, handling, and sometimes restoration, ensuring that documents remain accessible and intact for future use. Good preservation practices consider factors like environmental conditions, such as temperature and humidity, and use techniques to prevent physical wear or deterioration caused by aging, pests, or misuse. The goal is to ensure that valuable information contained in documents remains available and in good condition for research, legal, historical, or organizational needs.
