Author: Northeast Document Conservation Center
Abstract: Between January 3, 2022 and January 13, 2022 , paper-based, audiovisual, and photographic materials housed in Special Collections at the James P. Adams Library at Rhode Island College were assessed for preservation planning purposes by Elena Cordova, Contract Preservation Specialist for the Northeast Document Conservation Center (NEDCC) in Andover, MA. The assessment, which was funded by a National Endowment for the Humanities Preservation Assistance Grant, evaluated the buildings and environments as they relate to the preservation needs of the materials; examined current policies, storage, and handling procedures; and assessed the general condition of materials. Observations and recommendations are based on a pre-site visit questionnaire, a site visit, and discussions with Digital Archivist and Special Collections Librarian, Molly Bruce Patterson; Digital Initiatives Coordinator, Andrew Davis; and Carissa DeLizio, Library Director.
