Dear all
This issue relates to the broad area of 'preservation
metadata' - recording actions such as conservation treatments
over time, exposure in exhibitions, and linking to
condition reports, treatment records, images and potentially even linking to
reformatted versions.
This is is of particular interest to a number of
organisations with which I work.
Like Ian, I would be very interested to find out what
developments are taking place in this arena.

Brown From: owner-padg@xxxxxxx [mailto:owner-padg@xxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Ian Bogus Sent: Wednesday, 7 June 2006 12:36 AM To: padg@xxxxxxx Subject: [PADG:1034] Preservation Action Notes Our library has started a project treating moldy books. While researching ways to record this action we ran across the MARC 583 standard. This field seems to fulfill not only our current need but could also be used for storing other useful information. Before implementing the use of this particular tag we wanted to know how other institutions handled recording preservation action information. Is the 583 tag commonly used, and if so for what actions? If not, what other methods or options are there? At what stage of the workflow are these tags updated and does Preservation or Cataloging staff do it?
