Manuscript preservation refers to the methods and practices used to protect and maintain written documents, especially those that are old or rare. This process ensures that valuable texts, such as historical records, literary works, and religious scriptures, remain intact for future generations. Techniques include proper storage, climate control, and the use of archival materials to prevent deterioration. Conservation specialists often assess the condition of manuscripts and may perform repairs or digital archiving to enhance accessibility. Institutions like libraries and museums play a crucial role in manuscript preservation, safeguarding important cultural heritage, such as the Dead Sea Scrolls or works by Shakespeare.
