Abstract
Preservation has always been at the core of the archival mission. The application of its tenets has, however, frequently been carried out in the most passive ways. As a result, tremendous remedial problems face today's archivists. Correcting the problems of neglect will require new strategies, techniques, and renewed relationships with preservation personnel. Fostering lines of communication with preservation educators will lead us to a better understanding of what will be required to address our needs. The authors advocate assessing archival needs while carefully considering implications for the future in an information environment. They emphasize the difference between preservation personnel needs in libraries and archives, examine formal education training opportunities currently available, and suggest ways to improve archival preservation training. By reviewing the current status of archival preservation, the authors highlight significant issues to help stimulate further thought and discussion in the archival community.
