Author(s): Begam Parvin
Abstract
In this digital era, the importance of preserving archival materials demands a critical concern. Archives serve as vital repositories of our collective memory, housing documents, photographs, manuscripts, and other artifacts that tell the story of human history. These materials hold invaluable historical information that we must conserve to safeguard documents, photographs, manuscripts, and other materials from deterioration, ensuring that future generations can enjoy and learn from them. However, preserving these materials requires several strategies, as archivists and conservators must navigate numerous challenges. Through this article, I will explore the best practices for protecting the past and discuss the obstacles that archivists face in the conservation process.
