Putting It Into Practice

Overall Course Assignment

  Review the Sample Survey Report Executive Summary as well as your final assignments for each session of this course. The final assignments should set out your highest priorities for each preservation topic (e.g., collection condition, building and environment, collections care, treatment, reformatting, disaster planning).

Use these priorities to prepare an executive summary of the survey observations you made as you worked through this course. While this will not take the place of a detailed written survey report, it will help you in setting priorities for preservation planning.
