Collection Care Videos: 'Using Collection Items'
Our Preservation Department has produced a series of short videos on the best ways to handle books and other collection items.
By encouraging and demonstrating careful use of collection items, the Library and readers can work together to ensure their long-term preservation.
Each short video shows material in a particular format with demonstrations of how to handle the items.
Please note: The videos were designed to be shown in public areas of the Library and therefore have no sound associated with them.

These videos were made for the British Library by Matt Casswell.
