The Conservation/Preservation Program provides State funding for libraries
and other organizations engaged in efforts to preserve deteriorating
library research materials. The program was established as part of the
landmark 1984 library legislation and was expanded in 1986 and 1990.
[SEE: Education Law, Section 273.7(d)] It is administered by the New
York State Library's Division of Library Development.
The purposes of the Conservation/Preservation program are to encourage
the proper care and accessibility of research materials, to promote
the use of development of guidelines and technical standards for conservation/preservation
work, and to support the growth of local and cooperative activities
within the context of emerging national preservation programs. |
