Preservation of historical documents and library related materials
is a growing problem in all library types and institutions.
Fortunately, editors Carol Smallwood and Elaine Williams have
pulled together the wisdom of practicing professionals to elucidate
how to cope with the many problems that arise when preserving,
managing, and digitizing important collections. Preserving Local
Writers, Genealogy, Photographs, Newspapers, and Related Materials
contains informative chapters on physical preservation, collection
management, cooperation with organizations and communities, various
formats, and special projects. Each part covers the preservation of
specific materials, from newspapers and scrapbooks to photographs
and oral histories. In addition, chapters cover repair and
restoration of materials, while taking into consideration the
current state of funding for agencies with an interest in history.
Contributors also shed light on how the racial, economic, and
political dynamics of the past affect how collections are gathered,
maintained, and presented today. Preserving Local Writers,
Genealogy, Photographs, Newspapers, and Related Materials offers
plenty to inspire anyone facing backlogs of unprocessed papers or
boxes of artifacts. Stories of the rescue efforts of a group of
volunteers, or the discovery of a lost diary, show that the hard
work of preservation is well worth it. Libraries, archives, and
historical and genealogical societies all have their role to play
in preserving important historical materials, as do patrons,
sponsors, and volunteers; such institutions and individuals will
find this book extremely helpful in their preservation efforts.
