Putting It Into Practice

Final Assignment

Review the entries you made in your Notebook as you worked through this session. Having learned more about the mechanisms of deterioration and made a general assessment of the condition of your collections, what portions of your paper based collections do you feel are most at risk?

Taking into account condition and risk, and considering which collections are most important to your institution, which paper-based collections do you feel might be your highest priority for preservation, and why? What obstacles do you think you might face in preserving those collections you deem to be most at risk?

 Complete the Paper-Based Collections section of your overall survey and submit it to the facilitator.
