Description
Abstract
Within the framework of the Dutch national program for the preservation of library and archival materials, Metamorfoze, three national institutions - Instituut Collectie Nederland (ICN, Netherlands Institute for Cultural Heritage), the Koninklijke Bibliotheek (KB, National Library of the Netherlands) and the Nationaal Archief (NA, National Archives of the Netherlands) - have been given the joint responsibility to co-ordinate a national program for paper conservation research for the years 2004 to 2008. A first step in the design of this program has been the development of a valuation model for paper conservation research. This model is primarily based on the idea that different research options can be evaluated and prioritised beforehand by quantitatively estimating their associated ‘success’ in improving the preservation of and access to Dutch paper-based collections in a most cost-effective way. In this article, the term 'collections' is used for groups of documents and/or other paper artefacts in libraries, archives and museums. The framework, elaboration and discussion of the Valuation Model for Paper Conservation Research (‘Valuation Model’, in short), will be presented in this chapter.
