Information and documentation -- Collections management for archives and libraries
ISO/TR 19814:2017 provides guidance and recommendations in the planning, implementation, maintenance and improvement of the preservation of archive and library collections through:
- recommendations and guidance for preservation planning and ongoing management of physical collections in archives and libraries;
- procedures for managing collections in the stacks, research and reading rooms, conservation facilities and while on exhibit and during transportation.
- guidance and recommendations for appropriate enclosures and containers for archive and library collections.
ISO/TR 19814:2017 applies to preservation of archive and library physical collections of institutions and volumes small and large. It applies to all collections housed by an institution; their own collections and deposits or loans from other institutions. Some information on digital collections, born digital and digitized, for conservation is included for reference.
ISO/TR 19814:2017 also applies to collections that are being managed by governmental agencies.
This guidance is intended for collections that are being preserved for long-term use.
Collections intended for long-term use need to be managed to mitigate many risks that can cause loss, including catastrophic loss from fire and floods, risks of vandalism and theft, to instability of materials, including acetate film and acidic paper. Collections management addresses the risks from a holistic perspective. It is recognized that compromises are necessary based on, among other factors, the quantity of collections in archives and libraries. The compromises can be managed when the factors of use, significance, vulnerability of the collections and the expertise and best practices from several fields are included in the decision-making process.
ISO/TR 19814:2017 covers specifically the operations required to manage the collections environment that are relevant to the preservation policy and plan of the institution. This includes the monitoring of climate stability, control of exposure to light, preventive cleanliness measures and cleaning of the collections storage areas.
The conservation treatment of individual items within the collections is not covered in ISO/TR 19814:2017.
Information et documentation -- Gestion des fonds et collections pour les archives et les bibliothèques
ISO/TR 19814:2017 fournit des recommandations relatives à la planification, à la mise en ?uvre, à l'entretien et à l'amélioration de la conservation des fonds et collections d'archives et de bibliothèques sous les formes suivantes:
- recommandations relatives à la planification de la conservation et à la gestion continue des fonds et collections physiques d'archives et de bibliothèques;
- procédures de gestion des fonds et collections dans les magasins, salles de recherche et de lecture et installations de conservation-restauration, et lors de leur exposition et de leur transport;
- recommandations relatives au choix de contenants et de conditionnements appropriés pour les fonds et collections d'archives et de bibliothèques.
ISO/TR 19814:2017 s'applique à la conservation des fonds et collections physiques des archives et des bibliothèques d'institutions de toutes tailles. Il s'applique à tous les fonds et collections qui sont conservés par une institution, c'est-à-dire aussi bien aux fonds ou collections qui lui sont propres qu'aux dépôts ou prêts effectués par d'autres institutions. Certaines informations relatives aux collections numériques, qu'elles soient nativement numériques ou numérisées à des fins de conservation-restauration, y sont incluses à titre de référence.
ISO/TR 19814:2017 s'applique également aux fonds et collections qui sont gérés par des organismes publics.
La présente recommandation s'adresse aux fonds et collections qui sont conservés dans une perspective d'utilisation à long terme.
Les fonds et collections destinés à un usage à long terme doivent être gérés de manière à atténuer les nombreux risques qui peuvent être à l'origine de pertes, y compris de pertes majeures qui peuvent aller des incendies et inondations au vandalisme et au vol, et jusqu'à l'instabilité des matériaux, y compris le film acétate et le papier acide. La gestion des fonds et collections aborde les risques selon une approche globale. Il est admis que des compromis, basés sur l'ampleur des fonds et collections d'archives et de bibliothèques concernés, entre autres facteurs, sont nécessaires. Il est possible de gérer ces compromis lorsque les critères d'utilisation, de valeur et de vulnérabilité des fonds et collections et l'expertise et les bonnes pratiques dans différents domaines sont intégrés dans le processus décisionnel.
ISO/TR 19814:2017 traite spécifiquement des opérations nécessaires à la gestion de l'environnement des fonds ou collections, qui concernent la politique et le plan de conservation de l'institution. Sont ainsi inclus la surveillance de la stabilité climatique, la maîtrise de l'exposition à la lumière, les mesures préventives de propreté et le nettoyage des magasins.
ISO/TR 19814:2017 n'aborde pas le traitement de conservation-restauration des différents documents qui composent les fonds et collections.
Informatika in dokumentacija - Upravljanje zbirk arhivov in knjižnic
Ta dokument podaja smernice in priporočila glede načrtovanja, izvajanja, vzdrževanja ter izboljševanja shranjevanja zbirk arhivov in knjižnic s pomočjo:
– priporočil in smernic za načrtovanje shranjevanja ter neprekinjenega upravljanja fizičnih zbirk arhivov in knjižnic;
– postopkov za upravljanje zbirk, zloženih na police, v raziskovalnih in bralnih prostorih, skladiščih ter med razstavljanjem in prevažanjem;
– smernice in priporočila za ustrezna ohišja in vsebnike, namenjene za zbirke arhivov in knjižnic.
Ta dokument se uporablja za shranjevanje fizičnih zbirk arhivov in knjižnic, ki so v lasti ustanov, ter majhnih in velikih knjig. Uporablja se za vse zbirke, ki jih shranjujejo ustanove – njihove lastne zbirke in shranjene ali izposojene zbirke, ki so v lasti drugih ustanov. Nekatere informacije o shranjevanju digitalnih zbirk (izvirno ustvarjenih v digitalni obliki in digitaliziranih) so vključene kot referenca.
Ta dokument se uporablja tudi za zbirke, ki jih upravljajo vladne službe.
Te smernice so namenjene za zbirke, ki se shranjujejo za dolgoročno uporabo.
Zbirke, namenjene za dolgoročno uporabo, je treba upravljati zaradi preprečevanja številnih tveganj, ki lahko povzročijo izgubo, vključno z uničujočo izgubo zaradi požara in poplave, tveganje vandalizma in kraje ter nestabilnost materialov, vključno z acetatno folijo in kislim papirjem. Upravljanje zbirk obravnava tveganja celostno. Ugotovljeno je, da ogrožanje med drugimi dejavniki nujno temelji na količini zbirk arhivov in knjižnic. Ogrožanje je mogoče upravljati, če so v postopek odločanja vključeni dejavniki uporabe, pomena in ranljivosti zbirk ter strokovnost in najboljše prakse z več področij.
Ta dokument posebej obravnava postopke, potrebne za upravljanje okolja zbirk, ki so pomembni za pravilnik in načrt shranjevanja določene ustanove. To vključuje nadzor stabilnosti klimatizacije, nadzor izpostavljenosti svetlobi, preventivne čistilne ukrepe in čiščenje prostorov, v katerih so shranjene zbirke.
Shranjevanje posameznih elementov zbirk ni obravnavano v tem dokumentu.

TECHNICAL REPORT ISO/TR 19814:2017(E)
Information and documentation — Collections
management for archives and libraries
1 Scope
This document provides guidance and recommendations in the planning, implementation, maintenance
and improvement of the preservation of archive and library collections through:
— recommendations and guidance for preservation planning and ongoing management of physical
collections in archives and libraries;
— procedures for managing collections in the stacks, research and reading rooms, conservation
facilities and while on exhibit and during transportation.
— guidance and recommendations for appropriate enclosures and containers for archive and library
collections.
This document applies to preservation of archive and library physical collections of institutions and
volumes small and large. It applies to all collections housed by an institution; their own collections
and deposits or loans from other institutions. Some information on digital collections, born digital and
digitized, for conservation is included for reference.
This document also applies to collections that are being managed by governmental agencies.
This guidance is intended for collections that are being preserved for long-term use.
Collections intended for long-term use need to be managed to mitigate many risks that can cause loss,
including catastrophic loss from fire and floods, risks of vandalism and theft, to instability of materials,
including acetate film and acidic paper. Collections management addresses the risks from a holistic
perspective. It is recognized that compromises are necessary based on, among other factors, the
quantity of collections in archives and libraries. The compromises can be managed when the factors
of use, significance, vulnerability of the collections and the expertise and best practices from several
fields are included in the decision-making process.
This document covers specifically the operations required to manage the collections environment
that are relevant to the preservation policy and plan of the institution. This includes the monitoring
of climate stability, control of exposure to light, preventive cleanliness measures and cleaning of the
collections storage areas.
The conservation treatment of individual items within the collections is not covered in this document.

4 Preservation in collections management
4.1 Collections management practices
4.1.1 General
Preservation planning and policies are fundamental to the mission and strategic plan of preserving
collections in archives, libraries and other cultural institutions. Collections management is integrated
into the goals and objectives of the institution through preservation policies and preservation planning.
Written collections management procedures are essential to achieving the preservation plan in archives
and libraries, ensuring consistency of procedures followed by staff throughout the institution.
Scientific and technical exchanges with other sectors of heritage preservation are advisable to avoid
redundant preservation activities.
4.1.2 Training of staff
All staff responsible for the preservation and use of collections in archives, libraries and other cultural
institutions should be informed about their role and the principles of preservation of the materials and
types of collections in their care.
Each employee should be instructed and trained in the implementation of the collections emergency plan.
Those responsible for supervising others in the care of collections should have dedicated training in
collections management to define the preservation needs of collections, define priority actions and to
prepare and implement a preservation plan.
This training may include knowledge of heritage legislation, the standards that apply to the preservation
of the collections in their care, the doctrine and professional preservation techniques and practices.
The training and experience of the staff should be relevant to the types of materials in the collections
and significance of the collections. The training and experience should include techniques for individual
and collective treatments of the appropriate collections. Training in chemical or biological health risks
from treatment of collections should also be included.
Continuing training regarding preservation should be included in the preservation plan.
4.1.3 Training of external users
The public, contractors, volunteers and others who handle collections items should be provided with
simple information and/or training on preservation and guidelines for handling collections. This may
be done through signage or information provided where collections are being handling.
4.2 Preservation policy
4.2.1 General
Formal preservation policies are fundamental to collections management. The purpose of the
preservation policies is to ensure that all staff and managers are aware of their preservation responsibility.
Preservation policy guides all staff and managers in appropriate actions that ensure the preservation
of collections based on specialized knowledge provided by the preservation profession. Guidance that
accompanies the policy may explain impacts and consequences of deviation from the policy.
Preservation policies may include: regulations for security and handling of collections, exhibition
and loan regulations, transportation regulations, operational rules for collections storage locations,
including policies related to cleaning. Additionally, decisions about acquisition, transfer and loans and
conservation should adhere to the preservation policy of the institution.
NOTE Policies that avoid smoking, eating and drinking in any area where collections are stored or used is a
primary restriction. Smoking leaves tar and nicotine deposits. Food and drink attract insects and rodents, leave
residues that cause surface contamination and pose a direct threat to the collections and equipment if spilled.
4.2.2 Documenting policies and procedures
Written collections management procedures are essential to achieving the preservation plan in archives
and libraries by ensuring consistency of procedures followed by staff throughout the institution. It is
advisable that these procedures are documented in policies or guidance and maintained permanently.
Preservation documentation should include decisions made that may impact the preservation of the
collections.
The documentation should specify the date, the name of the person taking the decision and under which
authority the procedures of recording, transfer, loan, preservation or conservation are taken.
6 © ISO 2017 – All rights reserved
The record of actions that impact the preservation of the collections may include:
a) documentation of receipt/accessioning/cataloguing, location transfers, or deaccessioning decisions
according to institutional policy or regulations;
b) documentation of conservation treatments and preservation actions, including treatments for
mould or disinfestations and loans and exhibition times and locations for individual items;
c) documentation of preservation actions including environmental data, specifications for materials
used in contact with collections.
4.2.3 Record and transfer of ownership
Information relevant to the acquisition or transfer of collections is kept in a file relative to the
collections.
All items being received into the collections should be inventoried, clearly identified and described,
with condition information about its state of preservation and location information.
Pre-existing numbers, shelf locations, or inventory numbers should not be removed.
The identification and the description of a document should use the rules and controlled vocabularies
relevant to the institution.
Significant items received into the collections, based on the mission, historical or acquisitive value
should be identified and provided with appropriate condition assessment and security protection.
It is recommended that significant items be transferred with a signature in any movement or transfer
of responsibility.
A list of these significant items may be maintained in a secure location for emergency response planning
and to ensure that security protections are maintained, with the list jointly verified annually, or when a
change in management occurs.
It is recommended that heritage collections be regularly inspected and inventoried in whole or in part.
This may be combined with a condition assessment.
The inspection, or inventory, should be endorsed by at least two people.
4.2.4 Ownership marking
4.2.4.1 General
It is advisable that institutions prepare written documentation of policies on ownership marking
unique identifying marks on each item and provide training to all staff who work with the collections.
Traditional collecting practices have often included ownership marking of items. The two reasons given
for ownership marking are to deter theft and to establish ownership if the item is recovered.
Ownership marking is advisable, particularly for high use items or items with a risks such as commercial
value, items being sent out of the institution on loan and may be required by national regulations.
Options for permanently marking paper-based items include embossing, punching or perforating and
ink stamping. Many institutions mark ownership by stamping with indelible ink on the edge or use
electronic strips inserted in the spine or text block for theft deterrence for use with exit monitoring.
Electronic strips inserted into collections have additional concerns related to adhesives used and the
potential for damage to the book structures if inserted into the spine.
It is recognized that the resources required for ownership marking at the item level in an archive or
library may be extensive.
There are significant costs associated with marking all collections in an archive or library. It is advisable
to consider all options for providing appropriate security.
4.2.4.2 Placement of ownership marks
Ownership marking, primarily for theft deterrence, requires careful consideration. The ownership
mark should be indelible to be useful; this is difficult to achieve. The placement of the mark requires
consideration and training, so as not to potentially deface an item. It is not recommended to stamp rare
or unique collection items with ink. Consulting preservation specialists is advisable.
Placement of the ownership mark is a balance between attempting to deter theft, by making it difficult
to remove the mark, without defacing or detracting from the preservation and purpose of the item.
If the mark is too close to the edge it is easily removed by trimming or removing a part of the item. If
the mark is placed close to, or over the text or writing, it may obscure or detract from the information
contained in the document.
Ownership marking should be visible and legible.
To limit handling of items, the ownership mark should be located in the same position for each type of

TECHNICAL REPORT ISO/TR 19814:2017(E)
Information and documentation — Collections
management for archives and libraries
1 Scope
This document provides guidance and recommendations in the planning, implementation, maintenance
and improvement of the preservation of archive and library collections through:
— recommendations and guidance for preservation planning and ongoing management of physical
collections in archives and libraries;
— procedures for managing collections in the stacks, research and reading rooms, conservation
facilities and while on exhibit and during transportation.
— guidance and recommendations for appropriate enclosures and containers for archive and library
collections.
This document applies to preservation of archive and library physical collections of institutions and
volumes small and large. It applies to all collections housed by an institution; their own collections
and deposits or loans from other institutions. Some information on digital collections, born digital and
digitized, for conservation is included for reference.
This document also applies to collections that are being managed by governmental agencies.
This guidance is intended for collections that are being preserved for long-term use.
Collections intended for long-term use need to be managed to mitigate many risks that can cause loss,
including catastrophic loss from fire and floods, risks of vandalism and theft, to instability of materials,
including acetate film and acidic paper. Collections management addresses the risks from a holistic
perspective. It is recognized that compromises are necessary based on, among other factors, the
quantity of collections in archives and libraries. The compromises can be managed when the factors
of use, significance, vulnerability of the collections and the expertise and best practices from several
fields are included in the decision-making process.
This document covers specifically the operations required to manage the collections environment
that are relevant to the preservation policy and plan of the institution. This includes the monitoring
of climate stability, control of exposure to light, preventive cleanliness measures and cleaning of the
collections storage areas.
The conservation treatment of individual items within the collections is not covered in this document.

4 Preservation in collections management
4.1 Collections management practices
4.1.1 General
Preservation planning and policies are fundamental to the mission and strategic plan of preserving
collections in archives, libraries and other cultural institutions. Collections management is integrated
into the goals and objectives of the institution through preservation policies and preservation planning.
Written collections management procedures are essential to achieving the preservation plan in archives
and libraries, ensuring consistency of procedures followed by staff throughout the institution.
Scientific and technical exchanges with other sectors of heritage preservation are advisable to avoid
redundant preservation activities.
4.1.2 Training of staff
All staff responsible for the preservation and use of collections in archives, libraries and other cultural
institutions should be informed about their role and the principles of preservation of the materials and
types of collections in their care.
Each employee should be instructed and trained in the implementation of the collections emergency plan.
Those responsible for supervising others in the care of collections should have dedicated training in
collections management to define the preservation needs of collections, define priority actions and to
prepare and implement a preservation plan.
This training may include knowledge of heritage legislation, the standards that apply to the preservation
of the collections in their care, the doctrine and professional preservation techniques and practices.
The training and experience of the staff should be relevant to the types of materials in the collections
and significance of the collections. The training and experience should include techniques for individual
and collective treatments of the appropriate collections. Training in chemical or biological health risks
from treatment of collections should also be included.
Continuing training regarding preservation should be included in the preservation plan.
4.1.3 Training of external users
The public, contractors, volunteers and others who handle collections items should be provided with
simple information and/or training on preservation and guidelines for handling collections. This may
be done through signage or information provided where collections are being handling.
4.2 Preservation policy
4.2.1 General
Formal preservation policies are fundamental to collections management. The purpose of the
preservation policies is to ensure that all staff and managers are aware of their preservation responsibility.
Preservation policy guides all staff and managers in appropriate actions that ensure the preservation
of collections based on specialized knowledge provided by the preservation profession. Guidance that
accompanies the policy may explain impacts and consequences of deviation from the policy.
Preservation policies may include: regulations for security and handling of collections, exhibition
and loan regulations, transportation regulations, operational rules for collections storage locations,
including policies related to cleaning. Additionally, decisions about acquisition, transfer and loans and
conservation should adhere to the preservation policy of the institution.
NOTE Policies that avoid smoking, eating and drinking in any area where collections are stored or used is a
primary restriction. Smoking leaves tar and nicotine deposits. Food and drink attract insects and rodents, leave
residues that cause surface contamination and pose a direct threat to the collections and equipment if spilled.
4.2.2 Documenting policies and procedures
Written collections management procedures are essential to achieving the preservation plan in archives
and libraries by ensuring consistency of procedures followed by staff throughout the institution. It is
advisable that these procedures are documented in policies or guidance and maintained permanently.
Preservation documentation should include decisions made that may impact the preservation of the
collections.
The documentation should specify the date, the name of the person taking the decision and under which
authority the procedures of recording, transfer, loan, preservation or conservation are taken.
6 © ISO 2017 – All rights reserved
The record of actions that impact the preservation of the collections may include:
a) documentation of receipt/accessioning/cataloguing, location transfers, or deaccessioning decisions
according to institutional policy or regulations;
b) documentation of conservation treatments and preservation actions, including treatments for
mould or disinfestations and loans and exhibition times and locations for individual items;
c) documentation of preservation actions including environmental data, specifications for materials
used in contact with collections.
4.2.3 Record and transfer of ownership
Information relevant to the acquisition or transfer of collections is kept in a file relative to the
collections.
All items being received into the collections should be inventoried, clearly identified and described,
with condition information about its state of preservation and location information.
Pre-existing numbers, shelf locations, or inventory numbers should not be removed.
The identification and the description of a document should use the rules and controlled vocabularies
relevant to the institution.
Significant items received into the collections, based on the mission, historical or acquisitive value
should be identified and provided with appropriate condition assessment and security protection.
It is recommended that significant items be transferred with a signature in any movement or transfer
of responsibility.
A list of these significant items may be maintained in a secure location for emergency response planning
and to ensure that security protections are maintained, with the list jointly verified annually, or when a
change in management occurs.
It is recommended that heritage collections be regularly inspected and inventoried in whole or in part.
This may be combined with a condition assessment.
The inspection, or inventory, should be endorsed by at least two people.
4.2.4 Ownership marking
4.2.4.1 General
It is advisable that institutions prepare written documentation of policies on ownership marking
unique identifying marks on each item and provide training to all staff who work with the collections.
Traditional collecting practices have often included ownership marking of items. The two reasons given
for ownership marking are to deter theft and to establish ownership if the item is recovered.
Ownership marking is advisable, particularly for high use items or items with a risks such as commercial
value, items being sent out of the institution on loan and may be required by national regulations.
Options for permanently marking paper-based items include embossing, punching or perforating and
ink stamping. Many institutions mark ownership by stamping with indelible ink on the edge or use
electronic strips inserted in the spine or text block for theft deterrence for use with exit monitoring.
Electronic strips inserted into collections have additional concerns related to adhesives used and the
potential for damage to the book structures if inserted into the spine.
It is recognized that the resources required for ownership marking at the item level in an archive or
library may be extensive.
There are significant costs associated with marking all collections in an archive or library. It is advisable
to consider all options for providing appropriate security.
4.2.4.2 Placement of ownership marks
Ownership marking, primarily for theft deterrence, requires careful consideration. The ownership
mark should be indelible to be useful; this is difficult to achieve. The placement of the mark requires
consideration and training, so as not to potentially deface an item. It is not recommended to stamp rare
or unique collection items with ink. Consulting preservation specialists is advisable.
Placement of the ownership mark is a balance between attempting to deter theft, by making it difficult
to remove the mark, without defacing or detracting from the preservation and purpose of the item.
If the mark is too close to the edge it is easily removed by trimming or removing a part of the item. If
the mark is placed close to, or over the text or writing, it may obscure or detract from the information
contained in the document.
Ownership marking should be visible and legible.
To limit handling of items, the ownership mark should be located in the same position for each type of
item for ease of inventory.
It is advisable to avoid marking on repaired areas or handling zones.
The ownership marking should not damage the item.
Different types of ownership marking may need to be used for different types of supports or containers.
If ownership marking on the item would deface or devalue the original, the ownership marking may be
applied to the container, on an attached tag or on a bookmark.
Photographs of the item with its inventory number may be taken as additional documentation.
Stamping is type of ownership marking and facilitates claims for return if the item is recovered after
a theft.
The two systems commonly used in archive and library collections are
— an embossed mark that indicates ownership and
— ink mark that will not bleed if exposed to water or other solvents, that is resistant to fading and
has no components that would have adverse effects on paper substrates. It is recommended that
pigment/ink conform to ISO 11798.
Another form of property control includes the use of barcodes. The barcode has graphically encoded
digital data that allows rapid identification when the barcode is scanned.
A barcode attached to an item can be linked to the identity of the item. The barcodes r

RAPPORT TECHNIQUE ISO/TR 19814:2017(F)
Information et documentation — Gestion des fonds et
collections pour les archives et les bibliothèques
1 Domaine d’application
Le présent document fournit des recommandations relatives à la planification, à la mise en œuvre, à
l’entretien et à l’amélioration de la conservation des fonds et collections d’archives et de bibliothèques
sous les formes suivantes:
— recommandations relatives à la planification de la conservation et à la gestion continue des fonds et
collections physiques d’archives et de bibliothèques;
— procédures de gestion des fonds et collections dans les magasins, salles de recherche et de lecture
et installations de conservation-restauration, et lors de leur exposition et de leur transport;
— recommandations relatives au choix de contenants et de conditionnements appropriés pour les
fonds et collections d’archives et de bibliothèques.
Le présent document s’applique à la conservation des fonds et collections physiques des archives et
des bibliothèques d’institutions de toutes tailles. Il s’applique à tous les fonds et collections qui sont
conservés par une institution, c’est-à-dire aussi bien aux fonds ou collections qui lui sont propres qu’aux
dépôts ou prêts effectués par d’autres institutions. Certaines informations relatives aux collections
numériques, qu’elles soient nativement numériques ou numérisées à des fins de conservation-
restauration, y sont incluses à titre de référence.
Le présent document s’applique également aux fonds et collections qui sont gérés par des organismes
publics.
La présente recommandation s’adresse aux fonds et collections qui sont conservés dans une perspective
d’utilisation à long terme.
Les fonds et collections destinés à un usage à long terme doivent être gérés de manière à atténuer les
nombreux risques qui peuvent être à l’origine de pertes, y compris de pertes majeures qui peuvent aller
des incendies et inondations au vandalisme et au vol, et jusqu’à l’instabilité des matériaux, y compris le
film acétate et le papier acide. La gestion des fonds et collections aborde les risques selon une approche
globale. Il est admis que des compromis, basés sur l’ampleur des fonds et collections d’archives et de
bibliothèques concernés, entre autres facteurs, sont nécessaires. Il est possible de gérer ces compromis
lorsque les critères d’utilisation, de valeur et de vulnérabilité des fonds et collections et l’expertise et les
bonnes pratiques dans différents domaines sont intégrés dans le processus décisionnel.
Le présent document traite spécifiquement des opérations nécessaires à la gestion de l’environnement
des fonds ou collections, qui concernent la politique et le plan de conservation de l’institution. Sont
ainsi inclus la surveillance de la stabilité climatique, la maîtrise de l’exposition à la lumière, les mesures
préventives de propreté et le nettoyage des magasins.
Le présent document n’aborde pas le traitement de conservation-restauration des différents documents
qui composent les fonds et collections.

4 La conservation dans le domaine de la gestion des fonds et collections
4.1 Pratiques de gestion des fonds et collections
4.1.1 Généralités
La planification et les politiques de conservation sont essentielles à la mission et au plan stratégique de
conservation des fonds et collections dans les archives, bibliothèques et autres institutions culturelles.
La gestion des fonds et collections est intégrée aux objectifs généraux et opérationnels de l’institution
au travers des politiques de conservation et de la planification de la conservation.
Des procédures écrites de gestion des fonds et collections sont indispensables pour mener à bien le
plan de conservation dans les archives et les bibliothèques, car elles garantissent la cohérence des
procédures appliquées par le personnel dans l’ensemble de l’institution.
Il est recommandé de mettre en place des échanges scientifiques et techniques avec d’autres acteurs de
la conservation du patrimoine afin d’éviter toute redondance dans les activités de conservation.
4.1.2 Formation du personnel
Il convient d’informer l’ensemble du personnel responsable de la conservation et de l’utilisation des
fonds et collections dans les archives, bibliothèques et autres institutions culturelles de son rôle, et des
principes de conservation des documents et des types de fonds et collections qui lui sont confiés.
Il convient d’informer et de former chaque employé quant à la mise en œuvre du plan d’urgence associé
aux fonds et collections.
Il convient que les personnes encadrant les équipes chargées des fonds et collections reçoivent une
formation spécifique en gestion des fonds et collections leur permettant de définir les besoins des fonds
et collections en matière de conservation, de définir des actions prioritaires et d’élaborer et mettre en
œuvre un plan de conservation.
Ladite formation peut comprendre la connaissance de la législation en matière de patrimoine, les
normes qui s’appliquent à la conservation des fonds et collections confiés à ces personnes, la doctrine et
les techniques et pratiques professionnelles de conservation.
Il convient que la formation et l’expérience du personnel soient pertinentes par rapport aux types de
documents qui composent les fonds et collections et à la valeur de ceux-ci. Il convient que la formation
et l’expérience comprennent des techniques de traitement individuel et collectif des fonds et collections
concernés. Il convient de prévoir également une formation sur les risques d’origine chimique ou
biologique que le traitement des fonds et collections présente pour la santé.
Il convient que le plan de conservation comprenne une formation continue en conservation.
4.1.3 Formation des utilisateurs externes
Il convient de fournir au public, aux prestataires, aux bénévoles et aux autres personnes qui manipulent
des documents issus des fonds ou collections, des informations simples et/ou une formation sur la
conservation, ainsi que des lignes directrices sur la manipulation des fonds ou collections. Cela peut être
fait sous la forme d’affichages ou d’informations placés là où les fonds ou collections sont manipulés.

4.2 Politique de conservation
4.2.1 Généralités
La mise en place de politiques de conservation formalisées est essentielle à la gestion des fonds et
collections. Les politiques de conservation ont pour objectif de garantir que chacun des employés et des
responsables est conscient de la responsabilité qui est la sienne en matière de conservation. La politique
de conservation guide tous les employés et responsables en leur indiquant les mesures adéquates
qui garantissent la conservation des fonds ou collections sur la base de connaissances spécialisées
fournies par les professionnels du secteur de la conservation. Les recommandations qui accompagnent
la politique peuvent expliquer les impacts et les conséquences d’un éventuel écart par rapport à cette
dernière.
Les politiques de conservation peuvent comprendre: des règles relatives à la sûreté-sécurité et à la
manipulation des fonds ou collections, des règles relatives aux expositions et aux prêts, des règles en
matière de transport et des consignes opérationnelles applicables aux magasins des fonds ou collections,
y compris des politiques en matière de nettoyage. De plus, il convient que les décisions relatives à
l’acquisition, aux déplacements et aux prêts et à la conservation-restauration soient conformes à la
politique de conservation de l’institution.
NOTE Les politiques qui interdisent de fumer, de manger et de boire dans tous les espaces où des fonds ou
collections sont rangés ou utilisés constituent une restriction prioritaire. La fumée de tabac entraîne la formation
de dépôts de goudron et de nicotine. La nourriture et les boissons attirent les insectes et les rongeurs, laissent
des résidus qui provoquent une contamination des surfaces et constituent une menace directe pour les fonds ou
collections et l’équipement en cas de déversement.
4.2.2 Documentation des politiques et des procédures
Des procédures écrites de gestion des fonds et collections sont indispensables pour mener à bien
le plan de conservation dans les archives et les bibliothèques, car elles garantissent la cohérence
des procédures appliquées par le personnel dans l’ensemble de l’institution. Il est recommandé de
documenter ces procédures dans les documents stratégiques ou les recommandations et de les tenir en
permanence à jour.
Il convient que la documentation de la conservation comprenne les décisions prises pouvant avoir une
incidence sur la conservation des fonds ou collections.
Il convient que la documentation indique la date, le nom de la personne qui prend la décision et le nom
de l’autorité sous laquelle se trouvent les procédures d’inscription à l’inventaire, de déplacement, de
prêt, de préservation ou de conservation-restauration.
L’enregistrement des actions qui ont une incidence sur la conservation des fonds ou collections peut
comprendre:
a) la documentation de la réception/inscription à l’inventaire/catalogage, des changements
d’emplacement ou des décisions d’élimination en fonction des réglementations ou de la politique de
l’institution;
b) la documentation des traitements de conservation-restauration et des mesures de conservation, y
compris les traitements contre les moisissures ou les désinsectisations, ainsi que les lieux et durées
de prêt et d’exposition des différents documents;
c) la documentation des mesures de conservation, y compris les données environnementales, ainsi
que des spécifications des matériaux utilisés au contact des fonds ou collections.
4.2.3 Inscription à l’inventaire et transfert de propriété
Les informations relatives à l’acquisition des collections ou au versement des fonds sont conservées
dans un dossier dédié.
Il convient que tous les documents intégrés aux fonds ou collections soient récolés, clairement identifiés
et décrits, avec des informations relatives à leur état de conservation et à leur localisation.
Il convient de ne pas retirer les numéros, cotes ou numéros d’inventaire préexistants.
Il convient que l’identification et la description d’un document utilisent les règles et les vocabulaires
contrôlés pertinents pour l’institution.
Il convient d’identifier les documents importants qui sont intégrés aux fonds ou collections sur la base
de leur valeur pour la mission de l’institution, de leur valeur historique ou de leur valeur financière, d’en
évaluer l’état et de leur offrir une protection de sûreté-sécurité appropriée.
Il est recommandé que tout déplacement lié à la circulation ou à un transfert de responsabilité relatif
aux documents importants soit soumis à signature.
Une liste de ces documents importants peut être conservée en lieu sûr pour planifier la réponse aux
situations d’urgence et s’assurer que les protections de sûreté sont maintenues; cette liste peut être
vérifiée de façon conjointe chaque année, ou à chaque changement de direction.
Il est recommandé d’inspecter et de récoler régulièrement, de façon tot
