Publication: Surveying the conservation landscape

The Welsh Government have recently published a report which looks at
how museums, archives and libraries in Wales can work together to
care for documentary collections.  The report identifies strategic
priorities for conservation and collections care in Wales.  These
include:

    Defining and communicating a national strategy for conservation
    of documentary collections with the sector

    Developing a set of nationally agreed strategic principles for
    conservation and preservation

    Developing a scheme to encourage leadership within the
    conservation sector

The report was commissioned by National Library Wales and CyMAL:
Museums Archives and Libraries Wales to update recommendations from
the 2000 Lisc (Wales) report 'The Future of our Recorded Past'.  The
report's author Jane Henderson is a Senior Lecturer in Conservation
and Collections Care at Cardiff University where she teaches on the
BSc and MSc degrees.
