Book Review: The Preservation Management Handbook: A 21st–Century Guide for Libraries, Archives, and Museums

Abstract

A recent issue of Preservation, Digital Technology & Culture was devoted to preservation education and presented the conference papers from the 2011 University of Michigan “Symposium of Preservation Educators.” Paul Conway, the convener in the opening session, provided the key to the importance of the program: “In the cultural heritage sector of libraries, archives, and museums, the ongoing transition from analog to digital technologies as source, medium and technique has accelerated the pace of the knowledge required for one to be an effective preservationist, and it has complicated the transfer of knowledge from experts to students.”
