A Preservation Assessment of Paper-Based Collections of the University of Central Florida Libraries

FAIN: PG-50644-09

University of Central Florida Board of Trustees (Orlando, FL 32816-8005)
Laila Miletic-Vejzovic (Project Director: May 2008 to December 2009)

A general preservation assessment of the university's archives and special collections, which document the United States space program, travel and tourism, the natural history of Florida, the books arts, and the university's historical development.

The University of Central Florida Libraries' Special Collections and University Archives Department will engage a consultant from the Northeast Document Conservation Center (NEDCC) to provide a general preservation survey of the paper based collections. The consultation will consist of a one-day on site visit and a written report that will present NEDCC's observations and recommendation, to be used as a planning document for developing a preservation plan.
