Guidelines for Preservation Microfilming in Australia & New Zealand

Prepared by Information Preservation Section, National Library of Australia

These guidelines have been developed in response to a resolution of the 1994 National Preservation Office Adelaide Conference: Preservation Microfilming: Does It Have a Future? At this conference it was apparent that there was a need for an authoritative Australian document guidance in preservation microfilming matters.

The information included is based on authoritative sources from overseas and practical experience from all sectors of the microfilming industry in Australia.

The publication has been written in simple language and contains information relevant to those with any involvement in preservation microfilming projects. Useful topics covered include: establishing a preservation microfilming project, selecting and preparing material for microfilming, preparation of target sequences, selecting microformats, preparation of technical specifications, quality control inspections, bibliographic control and storage. The publication also includes a number of appendices containing sample forms and useful lists of information.

A must for those involved in preservation microfilming.
