Preservation Guidelines
These guidelines have been created by the Harvard Library's Weissman Preservation Center, Collections Care, and Imaging Services Departments primarily for members of the Harvard community interested in the theory and practice of the preservation of library and archival materials. Consult our Preservation Library for additional resources. Please contact the Weissman Preservation Center's Senior Preservation Librarian if you would like for us to prepare new guidelines.
