Preservation Section

The Preservation Section is a department within a library, archive, or museum responsible for protecting and maintaining collections of books, documents, or artifacts. Their goal is to prevent deterioration caused by age, handling, or environmental factors. This involves using specialized techniques like proper storage conditions, careful cleaning, repairing damaged items, and controlling humidity and temperature. By doing so, they ensure these valuable items remain in good condition for future research, education, and public access. Essentially, they work to preserve cultural, historical, and informational resources for generations to come.
