Information und Dokumentation - Anforderungen an die Aufbewahrung von Archiv- und Bibliotheksgut (ISO 11799:2015)
Overview
Archive and library collections normally contain a wide variety of material and formats. These are mainly documents on paper, parchment, palm leaves, papyrus and may also include photographic, audio-visual documents and digital formats. All these materials ideally require specific storage conditions to ensure their long-term preservation and access. This standard takes into account the climatic and economic situation in the individual countries and defines conditions for the optimum long-term storage of archive and library materials.
