The Preservation Working Group of the University of Illinois exists to assure the long-term access to the physical, electronic, and intellectual contents of the UIUC Campus’ cultural assets. These assets serve to support teaching, research, and public engagement activities across campus as well as document the University’s history and development. We support these goals across the UIUC campus by providing information and expertise in physical collections management, records management, preventative preservation, conservation, exhibit preparation, digitization, and care of digital objects, as well as other areas as needed. The PWG additionally develops and maintains institutional guidelines for preservation, and acts as a final resource to assure that those items of enduring value receive appropriate care while they are entrusted to the University of Illinois.
