Preserving Everyone’s Heritage – IFLA Holds Workshop on Palm Leaf Manuscript Preservation
27 July 2017While tools and standards for preservation are advanced for materials like books, this is not the case everywhere. As a result, when a community’s cultural heritage is on other materials, such as palm leaf manuscripts, it is harder for libraries, both individually and as a network, to pursue their public interest missions. A workshop organised by IFLA in Sri Lanka on 6-7 July started moves to address this problem.
