- Instructional video about care and handling of books, paper, documents, maps, photographs and modern media. It includes information about the causes of damage to books and archives and shows some simple techniques to help slow down the rate of deterioration. There are demonstrations for removing books from shelves, turning pages and opening books on book supports. Also included is advice about shelving, environment, protective enclosures, boxes, repair and disaster preparedness.
This is an Auckland Libraries staff training video presented by David Ashman, former Preservation Manager and Book Conservator at Auckland Libraries.
Finally! Thank you! and no disco music soundtrack.
What a godsend I'm going to listen to this many times,
Thank you for the knowledge. It surely will preserve art for humans to come.

Fantastic and full of information. Thank you. Would love to see more.
A good introductory material on preservation of paper. Will make a good manual for freshers in librarianship and archival preservation
Superb presentation. Thank you David Ashman.
Thank you very helpful video 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Thank You for this video Mr. Ashman! I was wondering how one becomes a Book Conservator? Over the last couple of years I have begun collecting limited edition Art Books from the industry I work in. I want to preserve this stuff so much for future generations. Again, thank you for making this video.
This is excellent information. Thank you!
Thank you so much for this! Very helpful and informative! Truly, this was a big help. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you Sir.
I've Got Nearly A Thousand Books On The Subject Of Antiques And Collectables All Piled One On Top Of Each Other Upstairs In My Bedrooms And Before Seeing This Video I Had No Idea Of Taking Care Of Them I Just Thought To Myself They Will Last Me Until I'm No Longer Here So Just Collect As Many As I Can And The Information When Needed Will Always Be There For Me To Be Able To Have The Space To Keep Them Would Take Some Doing So Right Now I Haven't Got A Clue Where They Are Going Plus They Are Heavy
thank for its information
Fantastic video! I know my comment is redundant, but I thougth worth repeating :-)
Very informative
Thank you so much for this valuable information.
Most archives now want clean, ungloved hands to help prevent tearing of pages.
Thanks for the video. I have a Holy Bible from 1826 and a Schirmer's Library of Musical Classic from 1893. Would you recommend storing an a safe with a saline absorbing pack? That's where they have been the past 30 years but the safe seems be humid.
Is it proper to preserve very old books inside Pelican cases at home? They have a safe quality type of plastic or resin "5 PP", a pressure equalization valve, they are watertight, dust proof. I may add an acid-free foam or 100 % cotton cloth to the bottom or around the books.
I think they're going to be safer than on a bookshelf or any othet box. Would you, please, give me your opinion in case I should be careful about something in particular with these type of cases?
Where might I find conservation boxes for the books?
I have a collection of twenty century first printings that I keep stored in pluriball envelopes singularily. that protects them from light, heat, humidity and dust, but maybe it's not the right material because it doesn't allow transpiration ?
Can you recommend me the Book which I can read for book caring in Library .
Great video! Could I please ask if I could store the books in sealable plastic bags?
Same questions here..
I saw some input, the bag will retain moisture and it is going to damage the book, dont do it.

Can I get your opinion and possibly suggestions on rolls of historic archival projects I’m working on at our local historical society?
You can contact me through librariespreservation@aucklandcouncil.govt.nz
Is there an effort to copy pages so there are digital archives of these books?
Yes, at Auckland Libraries there are digitsation programmes that make our collections easier to use and more widely accessible. However, the digitised version would never replace the original item. This could be because of information discoverable by examining the binding and materials used for construction or other investigative techniques that may offer up clues to the book's past. In addition, there are no guarantees that digital will have the longevity of hard copy e.g. there are books in our collections that are over 400 years old and can still be easily used compared to 20 year old floppy discs that may be corrupt or the appropriate hardware/software is unavailable.
@@triptycho1 Thank you for the excellent video. I have recently taken over as librarian for a small, specialty community library. Many of our books are self-published by locals, and/or out of print. I have no formal training, but I treasure books and want to see them protected and preserved. Your video has been so helpful, and I've already recognized several mistakes that are being made, and how to easily correct them.
I have also begun to digitize some of the older, fragile newspapers. Thank you for your above explanation, because I am already fielding questions asking why we should keep the original materials if we have digital copies. I had my explanations, but it's helpful to have the words of an expert supporting me. Thank you for sharing your knowledge; this information will help me make strong, articulate presentations to our Board of Directors when outlining supplies or procedures that will need funding, and why they are important.
Very interesting, however, this goes a bit too far for my small private library of about 500 books, the most of which are not too valuable ... ;-))
Oook!
