Hello, One of our archivists is processing a collection of
professor’s papers and the papers are annotated with notes on Post It
Notes. The information and placement of the notations are important, but we
worry about the long-term preservation problems associated with keeping the
Post It Notes on the material. Does anyone have a recommendation on how to
strike a balance in this situation? Some ideas we’ve come up with are: -Make a preservation photocopy of the annotated material -Encapsulate the annotated material as an isolation
technique -Consider removing the Post It Notes, removing the adhesive,
and reattaching with Japanese tissue paper (this is an unrealistic approach for
us, but we mentioned it in our discussion) Any suggestions are warmly welcomed! Patti Patti Gibbons Preservation Manager telephone 773-702-6027 fax 773-702-3728 pgibbons@xxxxxxxxxxxx |
