PRESERVATION SERVICES

Preservation Services supports the teaching and research programs of the University of Virginia by facilitating and preserving access to the collections of the University of Virginia Library.

Activities include library binding, conservation treatments (paper and book repair, pamphlet binding, protective enclosures), reformatting of brittle books and audio-visual collections, disaster recovery and the promotion of preservation awareness. The ultimate goal is to maximize the longevity and utility of the collections for current and future users of the library.
