Preservation Week: Storing Papers + Open House Today

During Preservation Week libraries all over the country present events, activities, and resources that highlight what we can do, individually and together, to preserve our personal and shared collections.

Preservation Tip:

Paper:

Store your paper materials in an environment with relatively low humidity, away from direct sunlight, and on shelves not on the floor. Whether you have books, maps, letters or other items made primarily of paper, a good environment will contribute a lot to their future condition.
