Graphic novel preservation involves the methods and practices used to protect and maintain graphic novels for future generations. This includes proper storage conditions, such as controlling temperature and humidity, to prevent deterioration of the paper and ink. Preservation also encompasses digitization, which allows for the creation of digital copies that can be accessed without handling the original materials. Organizations and libraries often engage in graphic novel preservation to ensure that these works remain accessible. This effort may involve cataloging, restoration, and conservation techniques to repair damaged books. By preserving graphic novels, institutions help maintain the cultural significance of works by creators like Art Spiegelman and Alan Moore.
