Collection Preservation: Intro to Environmental Damage to Materials

Nearly all library materials will decay over time due to the temperature and relative humidity conditions of the environment they live in.  For some collections, such as circulating materials, this may be a small, but constant, factor in the overall lifespan of the object.  For other materials - non-circulating items, special collections, and others - environmentally induced decay often becomes the primary determinant in the object's long-term preservation. 

This webinar will introduce participants to the four major forms of degradation that are environmentally driven and experienced by common library materials:

  • natural aging
  • physical shape change
  • corrosion, and
  • biological damage

Participants will learn early steps and options for reducing the impacts of environmentally-induced decay.
