preservation policies

Preservation policies are guidelines that determine how organizations, libraries, or museums protect and maintain valuable items, such as books, documents, and artifacts, for future generations. These policies outline procedures for handling, storing, and restoring materials to prevent deterioration or damage. They may include environmental controls, digital archiving, and conservation strategies. The goal is to ensure that our cultural heritage is accessible and remains intact, allowing future research and enjoyment. By implementing these policies, institutions can safeguard important knowledge and history that might otherwise be lost over time.
