di Samantha Forsko (Autore)

Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2022

1. The author explains how cultural heritage organizations, such as museums, libraries, archives and historic sites, can forgo the “best” in favor of “good” and “better” approaches to collections care. Giving examples of implementation and easy-to-follow guides, Forsko demonstrates how preservation can become a component of any collections care program - even one with little to no resources. 2. The book will be an essential tool for anyone who cares for collections, particularly collections managers, registrars, and archivists. It will be suitable for professionals working in any type or size of institution and will also be of interest to students who are learning how to become practitioners. 3. The book will be the first to take a realistic, sustainable approach to collections care, rather than a "best practices" approach. Drawing on more than a decade of experience working with over 40 libraries, museums, archives, and other historic sites, the author encourages the reader to start by taking small, manageable steps and explains that even the smallest of actions can make a difference that will ultimately help to preserve collections
