British Library Preservation Advisory Centre

[2] During its existence it raised public awareness of preservation issues in libraries and served as a nexus for developing and promoting improved preservation management of library and archive materials in the UK and Ireland.[2] The centre closed on 31 March 2014, and all publications and resources were transferred to the British Library Collection Care webpages.[3] The Centre aimed to create a strategic policy for preserving current library collections, and addressed issues arising as digital collections evolved.[4] Its work was focused on practical results: The need for national entities like the Centre had 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.
