Preservation of collections

Preservation Plan Consultancy

Comprehensive understanding of all standards applied to archival science

The preservation of collections needs to be done based on a preservation plan, used to determine what the steps will be and how these steps should be carried out. Putting together a preservation plan requires an ability to fully understand all the technical standards applied to archival science, especially with regard to keeping archives usable. In this sense, we offer a complete consultancy to help your company when carrying out this procedure. For this, we deliver a complete document with all the rules, steps and specifications necessary for preservation to be carried out within the norms. In addition, through these rules, it is possible to safely guarantee that the preserved files are in fact remaining as the original. In practice, it works as a great certificate of safety and procedure.

What is a preservation plan?


Conceptually speaking, the preservation plan is nothing more than a document that assembles the entire planning process and structure of the activities necessary for the preservation of collections in digital media. If the process is done in any way, it will possibly generate confusion between what is being done and what should be in order to comply with basic preservation technical standards. Nowadays, the preservation of collections follows a maxim: security and availability of archives. In practice, this means saying the process must be done in such a way that it can guarantee that the files will be accessed when needed. In addition, the main objective of the preservation plan is to guarantee the safety of that collection, preventing external factors from causing any type of inconvenience, both physical and alteration of important information.
