BS 4971:1999
Repair and Allied Procedures for the Conservation of Documents

This British Standard is a rewrite of the BS 4971 part 1 and 2. The
committee headed by John MacIntyre includes heads of conservation
from national institutions, and representatives from professional
bodies and the bookbinding trade. BS 4971 is now available as a
'draft for public comment'.

Individuals or organisations can buy copies from BSI in order to
make comments on the draft.

The new standard is very different from its predecessor.  Much of
the previous Standard was instructional in practice methods. The new
Standard emphasises principles and practices, and is less
proscriptive.

Comments must be received by the end of May 2000.

Copies can be bought from
