Advancing Preservation for Archives and Manuscripts aims to advance archivists' knowledge and understanding of what it means to preserve our heritage. Divided into three parts, the book covers preservation frameworks, the nuts and bolts of implementing and managing a preservation program, and the ethical and moral implications of preservation practices.
