potentiality Budget
Every year a sufficient amount (for approved activities by management) of money should be kept a side, to accomplish the aims and task with ease and comfort. Responsibilities
The staff of an organization should have duty to ensure the long-term presesvation of the collection. The primary responsibility lies with Director of the division. Functional responsibility for preservation activities may be delegated to the conservator and his associates in work, as well as curator/collection manager/ in-charge, registrar/cataloguer etc. Conclusion
The overall outcome of a conservation policy should enable the cultural value of the manuscript collection to be minimized as an asset for the future generation. It is imperative that high quality conservation expertise be engaged as collections are a non-renewable asset and should be made accessible to the future generations. Conservation treatment in itself must contribute to the preservation process, not diminish the life of the manuscripts through the use of inappropriate material and unsound techniques.
