Preventive conservation of library collections. Foreign relations

May 11, 2006 opened on the basis of the FCKBF with the assistance of the SECCO Pontanova Foundation (Berlin) and the Preservation Academy Leipzig (PAL) Russian Center for Mass Neutralization of Document Paper Acidity... The first in Russia high-tech equipment for mass neutralization of paper acidity was put into operation. This technology is identical to that used by the Preservation Academy in Leipzig, namely the CSC Book Saver.

The "CSC Book Saver" process is currently the newest liquid phase neutralization method used in the low temperature field. This method reduces the processing time of books and preserves the original structure of the material during and after processing, and, which is extremely important, ensures the stability of various pigments and dyes. Practice has shown that good results can be achieved even with very sensitive combinations of materials, often found in modern archival and library collections. CSC Book Saver technology raises the pH value of the paper to neutral, promotes alkaline reserve and effectively protects the paper from influence environment.

From 2006 to 2012, the FCCBF RNL neutralized books from the Russian Journal Fund of the RNL, as well as from the funds of a number of regional libraries:
State Public Historical Library - 2006, 2007;
National Library of the Republic of Karelia - 2012;
National Library of the Komi Republic - 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012;
Arkhangelsk Regional Universal Scientific Library - 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012;
Murmansk State Regional Universal Scientific Library - 2011;
Tver Regional Universal Scientific Library - 2012;
State Theater Library, St. Petersburg, (collection "German Drama") - 2008, 2009

In the course of work on the mass neutralization of book paper, the technology was optimized, the results were reported at All-Russian and international scientific conferences and seminars, and are reflected in the publications:

ON THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE NATIONAL PRESERVATION PROGRAM OF THE LIBRARY FUNDS OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION

, Consultant of the Department of Libraries of the Ministry of Culture Russian Federation

The importance of libraries for the economic, intellectual and spiritual progress of society is appreciated more and more every year.

The Russian Law “On Librarianship”, adopted in 1994, established that “basically public policy in the field of librarianship, there is a principle of creating conditions for the universal accessibility of information and cultural property collected and made available for use by libraries ”.

The Council of Europe, of which Russia is a member, constantly notes the unusually important role of libraries in the present stage... The 1999 Council of Europe Draft Recommendations on Library Law in Europe emphasize that

Libraries are the main active and irreplaceable link, both in the information chain and in the protection of cultural heritage,

They carry out the necessary external communication for the dissemination of knowledge in society,

· Library heritage constitutes the main part of the cultural heritage of European states and, as such, is a key component of their identity.

In order to meet the growing needs of society for information, it is necessary to preserve information and its carriers. In this regard, the problem of preserving library holdings has ceased to be a private issue of librarianship and is becoming a problem of national importance, the solution of which largely determines the availability of the necessary information, new ideas and knowledge to the public.

At the General Conference of UNESCO back in 1986, the "Directives for International Action on the Preservation of Library Materials" were adopted, which provide for the creation in each country of a national program to ensure the preservation of library collections.

In Russia, since 1993, the Ministry of Culture has done a great job of studying and analyzing the state of the country's library funds. As a result, it was concluded that a crisis situation has developed in the field of preserving funds in libraries and that in order to get out of it, it is necessary to develop a comprehensive long-term strategic program at the national level, which would become the basis of the state policy in the field of preserving the country's library funds. Work began on the creation of the concept of the National Program for the Preservation of Library Collections of the Russian Federation, in which leading specialists from federal libraries and the Department for Libraries of the Ministry of Culture of Russia took part.

This important stage of work was completed in 1998 by the Board of the Ministry of Culture, which considered the issue "On the state policy of preserving library funds as part of the country's cultural heritage and information resource." A package of documents was prepared for the meeting, among which the main one was the Concept of the National Program for the Preservation of Library Collections. The Collegium approved the ways of formation of the state policy in the field of preservation of library funds, proposed for its consideration, and approved the Concept of the National Program.

In accordance with the decision of the Board on the basis of the Fundamentals of Legislation on Culture, the Federal Law "On Librarianship", the Federal Law "On Information, Informatization and Protection of Information", as well as the "Directives for International Action for the Preservation of Library Materials" (UNESCO, Vienna 1986) , UNESCO's Memory of the World Program (1992), IFLA's Preservation and Conservation Program (1986), based on the Concept approved by the Board, the country's leading specialists have developed a draft National Program for the Preservation of Library Collections of the Russian Federation. In April 2000, the draft National Program was approved by the All-Russian meeting of heads of federal and central scientific libraries of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation on the topic "State policy in the field of preserving library collections", held in St. Petersburg, in July - by the Interdepartmental Expert Council on the Problems of Preserving Library Collections at the Ministry of Culture of the Russian Federation.

On July 26, 2000, the project was discussed and approved by the Collegium of the Ministry of Culture, where the issue “On The National Program preservation of the library holdings of the Russian Federation ”. Then the Program as an integral part of the Federal Program "Culture of the Years." was approved by order of the Minister of Culture No. 000 dated 01.01.01.

The overall coordination of the Program is carried out by the Ministry of Culture and the Russian Library Association.

The program intends to gradually cover the entire library network of the country. Federal libraries of the system of the Ministry of Culture, as scientific-methodological and coordination centers, organize the implementation of the Program and provide its legal and scientific-methodological base.

The interdepartmental level of the Program is provided by the Interdepartmental Expert Council on the problems of preserving library funds, created under the Ministry of Culture.

It included representatives delegated by ministries and departments, leading specialists of the largest libraries, museums and other institutions that have library funds.

To implement the Program, like any other large projects, it is necessary to create certain conditions, the most important of which are the availability of the implementation mechanism and the financing of the project.

Even in the process of preparing the concept, the developers solved the problem of forming a mechanism for the implementation of the Program.

Such a task as the preparation of a complex program of this level, and even more so its implementation, would be beyond the power of any, even the largest library. An important organizational finding was the creation, as a mechanism for the development and implementation of the Program, of a system of scientific, methodological and coordination centers that are responsible for each of the 7 subprograms that make up the National Program, namely:

· « Conservation of library holdings»- for this subprogram, the base is the Federal Center for the Conservation of Library Collections of the RNL;

* « Preservation of information and creation of the Insurance library fund "- scientific, methodological and coordination center of this subprogram - VGBIL;

* "Book monuments of the Russian Federation"- RSL;

* "Safety of Libraries and Library Collections"- Center for the Safety of Cultural Heritage of the State Research Institute of Restoration;

· "Preservation of library collections in the process of use"- GPIB of Russia;

· "Accounting for library funds"- RSL;

· "Program staffing"- APRICT.

Practice has shown the need to organize such coordinating scientific and methodological centers, which constituted the management horizontal of the National Program. Already in the process of developing the Program, the centers proved their viability, readiness to organize further work on the implementation of the Program, the justification of the principle of distributed responsibility.

Funding for large programs, especially those of national importance, cannot and should not be carried out from one source. No budget can handle this task on its own.

Therefore, the financing of the Program is complex, it consists of the federal budget of various departments that have libraries under their jurisdiction, the budgets of the constituent entities of the Federation, and extra-budgetary sources.

The budget of the Ministry of Culture of the Russian Federation, as the leading department responsible for the formation and implementation of state cultural policy, including library policy, will finance general scientific and methodological developments, the creation of a system of regulatory documents, the development of infrastructure for interlibrary, interdepartmental and international interaction, etc. The Ministry of Culture provides targeted financial support for projects of federal importance, carried out both by libraries of the system of the Ministry of Culture of Russia and institutions of other departmental subordination, as well as large regional projects, such as the creation of regional and interregional centers for the preservation of library funds, training and retraining of personnel, analysis state of funds, etc.

Federal budget funds for the implementation of projects of the National Program for the Preservation of Library Collections are distributed within the framework of the Federal Program "Culture of Russia." as a result of a competitive selection of projects. In 2001, more than 150 applications were proposed for participation in the competition of projects aimed at the implementation of the National Program. Of these, 56 projects were selected for financing, a significant part of which has already been financed.

At present, the problem of preserving library funds has taken a worthy place in the structure of the state cultural policy in the field of librarianship, in the system of its priorities.

The national program received support from the Government of the Russian Federation. The Minister of Culture appealed to the Government with a request “in order to effectively implement the state policy in the field of preserving library funds, to increase the efficiency of work to ensure the preservation and accessibility of national library funds.

To instruct federal ministries and departments annually, when planning budgets, to provide targeted allocations for the implementation of the National Program for the Preservation of Library Collections of the Russian Federation in the network of libraries subordinate to them,

· To recommend to the Administrations of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation to provide equity targeted financing of works within the framework of the National Program for the Preservation of Library Collections, as well as to accept the Program as a basis for the development of appropriate regional programs. "

In response to this appeal, she instructed the federal executive authorities and executive authorities of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation "to consider the proposals of the Ministry of Culture of Russia on the preservation of library funds and take the necessary measures" (VM-P8-32365 dated 01.01.2001).

In a number of regions and departments, certain measures are already being taken.

Since the beginning of 2001, Russian libraries have embarked on the third, most serious and difficult stage - the implementation of the National Program for the Preservation of Library Collections of the Russian Federation.

One of the first stages of the implementation of the National Program in all its areas is the creation of a regulatory and methodological base. The implementation of the Program is possible only on the basis of uniform legal norms and scientific and methodological approaches. For this, first of all, it is necessary to improve the regulatory and methodological documents related to the preservation of library funds: the development of new and modernization of existing ones, bringing them into a single system.

Currently, a number of new normative documents are being prepared, which will significantly strengthen and develop the normative basis of the National Program and the entire sphere of preserving library funds.

· "Conservation of library funds": a new GOST 7.50 "SIBID. Preservation of documents. General requirements "and GOST 7.48" SIBID. Preservation of documents. Basic terms and definitions ”, as well as the Collection of scientific and methodological documents“ Organization of an interregional center for the conservation of library funds in the library ”, prepared by the Federal Center for the Conservation of Library Collections of the RNL;

· "Preservation of information and creation of the Insurance Library Fund": in the development stage GOST "Procedure for creating an insurance fund for documentation that is a national scientific, cultural and historical heritage", the leading organization - Rosarkhiv. The draft "Regulations on the Russian insurance fund of library documents", prepared by the scientific, methodological and coordination center of this subprogram - VGBIL, is under approval;

· "Book monuments of the Russian Federation": the final stages of approval are underway for the “Regulations on the Book Monuments of the Russian Federation”, developed by the RSL specialists as the basis for the implementation of the state policy in the field of work with book monuments;

· "Security of Libraries and Library Collections": continues the development of regulatory and scientific-methodological documents Center for the Safety of Cultural Heritage of the State Research Institute of Restoration;

· "Accounting for library funds": the final stages of approval are under way for the Regulation on the Sale of Books Excluded from the Library Collections, prepared by specialists from the RSL.

In addition to the development of a regulatory framework for the preservation of library funds, a lot of work is currently being carried out to survey the state of preservation of the funds of Russian libraries, conduct training seminars, scientific and practical work on the development and implementation of new technologies within the subprogram "Conservation of library funds".

Work has begun on the creation of insurance funds for libraries, a number of projects in this area have been supported by the Federal budget, work is coming to an end on the creation of a register of insurance microforms, within the framework of the subprogram "Preservation of information and creation of an insurance library fund".

Much work is being done within the framework of the “Book Monuments of the Russian Federation” subprogram. Unfortunately, the coordinators of this subprogramme could not come to the conference, so I will allow myself to dwell on it in more detail.

The purpose of the subprogram is to implement a unified policy in relation to book monuments stored in libraries, museums, archives, book chambers and other fund-holding institutions, to ensure their safety and use, state protection and legal protection.

The most diverse institutions of the country, to one degree or another, work with book monuments. This work is mainly carried out in isolation, both vertically - federal, regional and local institutions, and horizontally - libraries, museums, archives, etc.

Currently, the task has been set to form a Unified Fund of Book Monuments as a system of complementary funds of various institutions, where each fund performs a special task of the most complete presentation of book monuments of the corresponding level: world and national, regional or local. The second global task is to organize a centralized state registration of monuments in the Collection of Book Monuments, which will become a distributed bank of bibliographic data about each monument within the funds scattered across the country.

The main approaches to working with book monuments are formulated in the “Regulations on book monuments of the Russian Federation”, prepared by specialists from the RSL. The Research Department of Rare Books of the Russian State Library is the federal scientific and coordination center for working with book monuments in Russia. The functions of regional scientific, methodological and coordination centers should be performed by the central libraries of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation.

Conference "Book collections of the Russian North: problems of study, preservation and use", which was prepared and conducted by the Arkhangelsk Regional Scientific Library named after , shows that this library is becoming one such center.

I am sure that this conference will be very effective and useful for all its participants and for our joint work on the implementation of the National Program for the Preservation of Library Collections.

Preservation of documents- ensuring the safety of documents through the mode of storage, stabilization, restoration and copying.

Establishing and maintaining a regulatory storage regime
The document storage mode ensures the maintenance of the standard parameters of light, temperature and humidity, and sanitary and hygienic regimes.
In accordance with GOST 7.50-2002 “SIBID. Preservation of documents. General requirements ”documents are stored in the dark or under diffused light. Do not illuminate documents with direct sunlight. The norm of illumination on the surface of documents during storage should be no more than 75 lux, during exposure at the time of inspection - no more than 150 lux. In NB RK, control over the light storage regime is carried out using a special device "TKA-Keeper".

In the premises for storing documents, it is necessary to constantly maintain an air temperature of 18 ± 2 ° C, a relative humidity of 55% ± 5%.

In order to ensure control over the storage mode of library funds in the departments-fund-holders of the library, the conservation sector monitors the temperature and humidity conditions for storing documents. As part of the implementation of activities under the project "Development of the Regional Center for the Preservation of Library Collections on the Basis of the National Library of the Komi Republic", temperature and humidity loggers were purchased.


The readings are automatically accumulated in the memory of the devices, and, if necessary, can be displayed on a computer in graphical form or in the form of statistical tables. A comparative analysis of data on changes in indicators carried out on a computer allows you to control the temperature and humidity conditions and, if necessary, take measures to create conditions for storing documents in accordance with GOST.


In addition, it is very important to control the temperature and humidity inside books, newspapers, magazines. This becomes especially relevant in the event of emergencies, damage to a large array of documents with water. The portable handheld meter HygroPalm allows, in the process of examining the storage conditions of documents, to identify publications with a high level of humidity, which, in turn, helps prevent contamination of publications with mold microorganisms.

Along with monitoring the temperature and humidity conditions of storage, the conservation sector is working to maintain the necessary sanitary and hygienic storage regime, and carries out mycological supervision. Sector specialists inspect documents for mold damage. If necessary, documents are disinfected with a biocide.

Document stabilization
One of the most important factors affecting the physical condition of a book is the acidity level of the paper. Both domestic and foreign scientists have repeatedly proved the negative effect of increased acidity of paper on its safety, in connection with which the sector, if necessary, is working to determine the acidity level of paper in publications of national and local history literature, rare and valuable documents of the 19th-20th centuries. The acidity of the paper is determined with a pH meter.

Documents with a high acidity level undergo a stabilization procedure by the method of mass neutralization of paper acidity, which is carried out by the Federal Center for the Conservation of Library Collections of the Russian National Library

Phase conservation- temporary storage of documents in containers made of paper-friendly material (acid-free cardboard). The purpose of phase conservation is to protect rare and especially valuable documents from mechanical damage and exposure to aggressive environmental factors.

For the same purpose, the conservation sector is working on the selection of sheet materials that are in an unsatisfactory physical condition and require additional measures to ensure their preservation. In order to prevent their further destruction, these documents go through the encapsulation procedure (documents are placed in a transparent polymer film). Encapsulation protects the document from dust, moisture, reduces mechanical stress during operation.

Production of containers from acid-free cardboard and encapsulation of sheet documents is carried out

During the period of implementation of the program, it was possible to lay the foundations for identifying, identifying, accounting for the most valuable part of the country's library fund, to carry out significant work to create a regulatory and scientific-methodological base. The All-Russian Collection of Book Monuments (OSKP) has been created and is developing with the aim of preparing the basis for a centralized state registration of book monuments.




A network of regional centers for work with book monuments is being created; to date, central libraries of more than 30 constituent entities of the Russian Federation are participating in this work. Their task is to organize work to identify, describe, and record especially valuable documents stored in their region, as well as the formation of regional collections of book monuments, the creation of special sites.













Over the 10 years of the implementation of the national program, about specialists from federal and central libraries of Russian regions have undergone special training both in the system of additional professional training and operational advanced training on the basis of the largest federal centers. This made it possible to largely form a new professional environment and a new ideology for preserving library funds.


The tasks set at the first stage were basically solved: o For the first time in Russia, the planned activities to ensure the preservation of library funds received comprehensive state funding for all allocated priority areas and is implemented in practice. Systematic activities have begun and are successfully developing in most areas of NP. o The attitude to the problems of preserving library collections has changed for the better in the library community, and in a number of regions - and in the authorities. A number of regions have adopted local programs for the preservation of library collections. o Trained qualified personnel in the field of preservation of library funds.
