The Preservation Directorate of the Library of Congress would like
to invite you to the next lecture in its series on Topics in
Preservation Science.

On Tuesday, August 23, 2005, Sarah Stauderman Preservation Manager
of the Smithsonian Institution Archives, will present a talk
entitled "Summary of Research on Magnetic Media Deterioration Since
1995".

Since 1995, a variety of tools and techniques have been developed by
the collections management community to identify magnetic media
collections that are at risk and conduct conservation activities.
One important tool is the videotape identification guide,

This talk will review current research needs for the preservation of
magnetic tape and film.

The Topics in Preservation Science lectures are free and open to the
public. For more information about this series, which is continually
