[PADG:1265] RE: Seeking quotation
Hi,
A bit delayed in my response but... The Texas program
use to have a book mark with Paul Banks' 10 laws of conservation.
Gary mentioned 3 of them, the others are:
multiplication and dispersal increase chances for survival of
information
books and documents deteriorate all the time
use causes wear
deterioration is irreversible
no reproduction can contain all the information contained in the
original
conservation treatment is interpretation
no treatment is reversible.

(he may have been quoting someone else, and I'm only approximating it as
remembered): "We don't preserve materials by keeping patrons
from using them; we preserve them by keeping patrons using
them."

a document that no longer exists.?

- ?The physical medium of a
document contains information.?

- ?Authenticity cannot be
restored.?

- We're preparing a permanent single-case
exhibit about preservation for our special collections library
lobby. This exhibit case will feature a permanent backdrop with
sufficient foreground space in the case (it's 43"x43"x12")
for changeable displays. We'd like a quotation relating to
preservation included as part of the permanent backdrop---something
profound and affecting of course and no more than one or two
paragraphs. We're looking for one great quotation and would welcome
hearing your favorites.
