Preparing for the Worst, Planning for the Best: Protecting our Cultural Heritage from Disaster: Proceedings of a special IFLA conference held in Berlin in July 2003: 3 (IFLA Publications, 111) - Hardcover
Synopsis
In July 2003 a special IFLA conference was held in Berlin, devoted to the preparedness of library collections in the face of 'man made' disasters (conflict, war) and/or natural disasters (earthquakes, floods, hurricanes). A panel of international experts discussed these issues and exchanged views. Papers focused on both national policy planning and on the institutional level, with an emphasis on what has been shown to work on the basis of practical experience in libraries and other sectors: In addition, case studies, on a worldwide scale, are presented. This book contains the proceedings of that conference.

Hardcover. Condition: As New. Hardcover, 2011 reprint. Unused, still sealed in publisher's original shrinkwrap. Issued without a dust jacket. -- This volume contains the proceedings of a special IFLA conference held in Berlin in July 2003, focusing on practical strategies for protecting cultural heritage from disaster. The papers provide a series of first-hand case studies and frameworks for safeguarding library, archive, and museum collections from catastrophic loss. The text includes detailed reports on institutional responses to real-world crises, such as the 2002 Prague floods, earthquake preparedness at Istanbul museums, and the long-term lessons learned from Hurricane Gilbert in Jamaica. It offers technical comparisons of drying methods for water-soaked materials and specific protocols for the recovery of photograph collections and audiovisual media. A central focus is the role of the International Committee of the Blue Shield (often described as the "Cultural Red Cross") in protecting heritage during armed conflict and natural disasters. The collection also addresses the psychological stress and recovery of staff following the loss of cultural heritage. With contributions spanning from Vietnam and Latin America to the Netherlands and the USA, the papers offer a comparative look at how different climates and political infrastructures handle emergency response. The text emphasises preventative risk assessment, using models from institutions like the Canadian Museum of Nature to balance mitigation costs with potential loss. -- Johanna G. Wellheiser is a prominent Canadian conservator and consultant, formerly the Manager of Preservation and Digitisation Services at the Toronto Public Library. Seller Inventory # 013167
