Annual Seminar
Training for Preservation Management
Conference Centre, British Library
96 Euston Road
London  NW1 2DB
26th October 1999

The aim of this seminar is to assess the provision of preservation
management training in the UK and Ireland, focusing in particular on
three aspects: subjects and content taught; the level to which the
subject is taught, and gaps in existing teaching provision. The
seminar will bring together senior professionals in education and in
preservation. Participants will identify recommendations for action
by the National Preservation Office in facilitating preservation
management training, in particular the development of programmes
where there is an identified need at the national level.

Speakers will describe and evaluate the national training picture;
preservation management for archivists; preservation management for
librarians; the role of library and archive schools and a review of
initiatives in the museums sector.  Part of the day will be spent in
smaller discussion groups to consider institutional practice,
Continuing Professional Development and professional bodies'
practice.

Cost, including lunch:  UKP65 inclusive of VAT.
