    Situation

    As a working resource, the Library is used daily by students, professors, staff, professional musicians, broadcasters, composers, teachers and researchers. However, as a result of age, handling and general use, many volumes and recordings are in urgent need of conservation. Some of our historic recordings, for example, are in analogue formats that will not last and need to be transferred to a digital medium for future preservation.

    Solution

    Conservation is a specialist skill: each item needs treatment using established paper and binding conservators and cutting-edge technology. Donations to the Restore a Score fund will enable us to undertake vital conservation work on the Library's collections on an ongoing basis.
