Preservation Education Curriculum Image Library

Images have been provided to assist you in illustrating most of the lessons. This collection should not be considered the definitive source for preservation images. Rather, use it to enhance your presentations and perhaps update some of your existing images. NEDCC is grateful to the many vendors and institutions—libraries, museums, archives, and historical societies—that were willing to share their photographs for this project.

These photographs are available as 72 dpi JPEG files, which can be downloaded for multimedia presentations in the classroom. You can view the caption and copyright notice for each photograph when you view the enlarged image. These images are to be used for educational purposes only and should not be published without permission from the copyright holder.

Don't pull books off the shelf by the headcap. Do push in the books on either side to remove a book. Do seek assistance when lifting oversize materials from flat files. Don't stamp books without supporting the back cover. If possible, place the date-due slip on the flyleaf next to the text block. Food and drink policies are an important part of general collections care. When photocopying books do not force the book flat; copy each page separately. Gloves should always be worn when handling photographic prints and film materials. This book cart is overloaded and top heavy. On a properly loaded book cart, books are balanced and fully supported.
