Preservation Department

The Preservation Department's goal is to preserve the collections of the Kelvin Smith Library for as long a time as possible and to repair or replace needed damaged items. We support the mission of the library by keeping materials in all formats in good condition so they can be accessed by the research and learning community. The Department also educates staff and users of the library in best practices to limit preventable damage to materials, and responds to any disasters affecting books, paper, or other media held by the library.
