Preservation collections and resources

Film preservation

The Washington State Film Preservation Manual, published in April 2006 by Nicolette Bromberg and Hannah Palin, with Libby Burke, offers low-cost and no-cost suggestions on how to care for film collections. The manual was funded by a grant from the Washington Preservation Initiative.

Archival supplies

The volume discounts from OCLC members' cooperative purchasing make preservation and archival supplies available at considerable savings. Learn more in Library supplies.
