The purpose of establishing preservation goals is to set forth a best case version of how properties in the historic context

4、 should be identified, evaluated, registered, and treated. Preservation goals should be oriented toward the greatest possible protection of properties in the historic, through affirmative treatments like rehabilitation, Setting GoalsSetting Priorities for Goals Once goals have been developed they ne

General social, economic, political and environmental conditions and trends affecting (positively and negatively) the identification, evaluation, registra

Some property types may be more directly threatened by deterioration, contemporary use patterns, or public perceptions of their value, and such property types should be given priority consideration. 2. Major cost or technical considerations affecting the identif

The identification or treatment of some property types may be technically possible but the cost prohibitive; or techniques may not be currently perfected. Setting GoalsSetting Priorities for Goals 3.

They do this by analyzing and assessing the condition of cultural property, understanding processes and evidence of deterioration, planning collections care or site management strategies that prevent damage, carrying out c

23、 awarded to library collections in general. As librarians became aware of the physical problems facing their collections; environmental damage, physically unstable paper, deteriorating structures, and ineffective and often harmful book repairs; they began to look for appropriate long-term solutions,
