Synopsis:

Offers an overview of the archival use of microfilm, and provies information on selection, production planning, practices and standards, cost controls, and microform cataloging

Synopsis: Microfilming is the most stable and least expensive method for preserving the intellectual content of deteriorating library materials. "Preservation Microfilming: a Guide for Librarians and Archivists" is a manual to assist administrators in planning and implementing microfiling projects. There is more to preservation microfilming than the actual camera work performed by technicians. Each step in the production of preservation microform masters is covered here, including the library's or archive's overall planning, selection and preparation of materials to be filmed, provision of bibliographic control for microfilmed materials and storage and care of master negatives. The guide gives instruction on such matters as contracting for filming services, establishing good quality control routines, and estimating costs. The manual itself includes references to standards, guidelines, and other documents; checklists; and a sample contract and other forms.
