Collection Care
The Preservation Advisory Centre published some extremely useful guidance booklets on a variety of conservation issues. The topics cover basic preservation techniques, salvaging collections, environmental management, caring for books, photographs and much more.
The Hill Museum and Manuscript Library have produced a wealth of resources that are vital if you are considering a digitisation project.

Cataloguing
When you are cataloguing and providing the metadata for an EAP project, you will need to access these websites:
- The Library of Congress transliteration tables for non-Roman scripts
- Library of Congress Subject Headings
It may also be useful to check the language and script codes that we use at the British Library.
