Abstract

The conservation and preservation of library collections are conducive to the preservation of world cultural heritage. The goal is to develop a program or project that protects library and archival collections according to their condition, character, and age. It should be noted that the scope of the work will be different for different types of documents, such as books, graphics, archival collections, or manuscript codes with colorful illuminations. Other efforts must be made in cases of urgent intervention for large numbers of sources. Thanks to adequate funding, comprehensive protection and preservation of selected library collections are aspects of the cultural heritage protection program in Poland. Procurement funds will equip conservation workshops with suitable tools, materials, and reagents to carry out conservation work. They will also provide training activities for the personnel who specialize in the day-to-day protection and conservation of collections. There is also the possibility of establishing international cooperation, which will be described further in this text.
