Preservation

Atla is committed to preservation. Historically, Atla’s preservation activity focused on partnering with member libraries on preservation strategies centering on microfilming of collections held by member libraries. As Atla and its membership moved into the 21st century, microfilming initiatives wound down, and now Atla and its membership are examining next steps for the association’s preservation program. To inform program development, Atla has undertaken web-based surveys and have reported their results.
