Greetings List,

Here is your chance to shine and share with colleagues.  I would like to put 
together a sample kit of preservation related policies and procedures to use 
during my site visits to AAO institutions. Do you have a written 
Preservation Policy for an archives that you are pleased with and  would be 
willing to send me, that I could show as an example to other institutions 
that do not have one .

 I would also be interested in collecting examples of  other written 
policies and procedures people may have that relate to preservation.  For 
example policies and procedures for: storage of archival records; exhibition 
or loan of records; environmental monitoring; care and handling; 
reproduction of original records; pest management; security; etc.

The source of the policy can be kept anonymous if you prefer.
