Description

Explains how to provide long-term, preservation-quality storage for diverse media collections. Reviews key preservation challenges for still and motion picture film, glass plate negatives, magnetic tape, photographic paper prints, inkjet prints, CDs, and DVDs, emphasizing how the storage environment affects them both individually and when housed together. The spiral-bound booklet’s text, diagrams, and tables present the information in an easily accessible format. A wheel, located in the back pocket of the booklet, summarizes each medium’s film support and life expectancy, preservation issues, and recommendations for the temperature and relative humidity of storage environments. Use this resource to: discover how the current storage conditions of your media collections may be hastening their decay; quickly locate proper relative humidity and temperature levels for photograph and moving image collections; plan for creating an optimum storage area, such as cold or frozen storage. 10 p. : col. ill. ; 28 cm. + 1 two-sided wheel.
