PRESERVATION OF DOCUMENTARY HERITAGE
Ross
Harvey's interest in
preservation stems from a period of employment in 1986-1987 as the
National Library of New Zealand's first Newspaper Librarian, when he
became aware of the significant issues associated with paper
deterioration. Since then he has researched into and published widely
about the preservation of documentary heritage materials. Recently his
interests have focused on the preservation of documentary heritage
materials in digital format.
