The National Preservation Office was established by the British Library Board in 1984;〔(Marshall, Vanessa. "Collection Care in Libraries Today," ) ''Digital Preservation Resources Symposium'' (2001)〕 in 2009 it was renamed the British Library Preservation Advisory Centre. The Centre's function is to raise public awareness of preservation issues in libraries and to serve as a nexus for developing and promoting improved preservation management of library and archive materials in the UK and Ireland.〔(About Preservation Advisory Centre )〕 ==Purpose and activities== The need for national entities like the Centre has been documented in surveys conducted by the International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA) Section on Preservation & Conservation and by the ''Ligue Internationale des Bibliothèques Européennes de Recherches''. Other than the United Kingdom, at least seven other countries have set up a similar entity, including Canada and New Zealand.〔(Foot, Mirjam. (1997) "Paper: Towards a National Preservation Policy," ) ''63rd IFLA General Conference'' (Copenhagen).〕 The Preservation Advisory Centre's mission is expressed in hortatory goals, but its work is focused on practical results. It aims to create strategic policy framework for preserving current library collections, and addressing issues arising as congruent digital collections evolve:〔Beagrie, N. ''et al.'' (1998) "A Strategic Policy Framework for Creating and Preserving Digital Collections." ''British Library Research and Innovation Report 107''.〕 * To assist cultural heritage agencies and organizations develop strategies for the preservation of cultural heritage assets in museums, libraries and archives, including the further development of the "Preservation Assessment Survey" (PAS)〔(PAS overview )〕 and training in the use of the PAS tools * To provide print and web-based information services for individuals and organizations, especially for collections throughout the United Kingdom and Ireland. * To provide training in preservation management for individuals and organizations including relevant training in the following areas: introduction to preservation management; disaster management; environmental control and monitoring.〔(goals & objectives )〕 The Centre maintains a PAS database and publishes an annual digest and report.〔(NPO/PAS reports )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「British Library Preservation Advisory Centre」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
