Concern over the preservation of cultural materials is not a new
phenomenon, but wide-ranging institutional action to ensure that such
preservation occurs is new. For years, institutions have employed conservators
and technicians to provide single item treatment for materials
damaged or vulnerable to damage. More recently, the trend has been
to establish preservation programs that take a more holistic approach
to the dizzying multitude of factors that, taken together, comprise the
institution's preservation challenge.
