Preservation Offices are specialized departments within organizations, often associated with libraries, museums, or historical societies, that focus on the protection and maintenance of cultural heritage. Their primary goal is to ensure that valuable documents, artifacts, and artworks are preserved for future generations. This involves assessing the condition of items, implementing conservation techniques, and developing strategies for long-term care. These offices often collaborate with professionals such as conservators and archivists to create preservation plans. They may also provide public education on the importance of preserving history and offer resources for individuals and institutions looking to protect their own collections.
