Conference on Cooperative Preservation Programs

On October 24-25, 1985, the representatives of thirteen non-profit cooperative preservation programs met in Andover, Massachusetts, to discuss the role of regional programs in an emerging national preservation strategy. The two-day, invitational Conference on Cooperative Preservation Programs for Libraries and Archives was hosted by the Northeast Document Conservation Center and funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities. The purposes were to promote communication among these centers, plan for resource sharing, identify common needs, and articulate positions on national preservation issues.

As a result of discussions at the conference, the participants agreed that cooperation and coordination among the centers should include the following activities:

1) Joint development or sponsorship of workshops and other training programs.

2) Sharing of publications and teaching materials on a more systematic basis.

3) Development of a formal mechanism for sharing information about the participants’ activities.

Participants at the Conference on Cooperative Preservation Programs: (left to right) Carolyn Morrow, LC National Preservation Program Office; Jeffrey Field, NEH Office of Preservation; Merrily Smith, LC National Preservation Program Office; Ann Russell, Northeast Document Conservation Center.

4) Utilization of a centralized database to be developed by the Library of Congress.

While coordination of existing programs will contribute much to building an effective national preservation strategy, the participants identified a number of areas that still need to be addressed:

1) New cooperative programs must be established in areas where preservation needs cannot now be met locally.

2) Existing preservation education programs leading to a certificate and/or a degree must be supported and others need to be established.

3) Short-term training and education should continue and be expanded and additional, in- depth training opportunities should be developed.

4) Research and development projects must be sponsored at appropriate scientific facilities to investigate and evaluate the application of science to preservation problems.

5) While research and development into information preservation technologies such as optical and video disk are ongoing, proven methods such as microfilming must receive continued support so that the content of endangered materials will be preserved.

6) The development and/or adoption of standards by national organizations such as ANSI provides a valuable service to the preservation profession and should continue.

7) Support and funding of the field services of regional preservation programs should continue.

8) Finally, participants agreed to continue their communications and information exchange on a regular basis as one way of promoting continued national cooperation and decided to meet again in December 1986.

The Conference provided an opportunity for professionals engaged in similar projects to meet each other and share common concerns. The participants concurred that the challenge posed by the deterioration of the nation’s collections can be met more effectively as cooperative preservation programs are supported and expanded, and that nationwide coordination among regional preservation programs should be continued. ■ ■
