In the past decade, the amount and variety of information on developing and managing comprehensive preservation programs has grown tremendously. This highly selective list of books, reports, journal and newsletter articles, and other sources is intended primarily as an introduction to the increasingly rich literature for archivists, special collections librarians, curators, and history professionals. Most of the items have been published since 1985, although a number of "classic" sources are included to illustrate how thinking on appropriate preservation action has evolved over the past 50 years. The list was compiled as part of the Society of American Archivists' 2-year long evaluation of its Basic Archival Conservation Program and should not be considered comprehensive. Each document is listed alphabetically by author and provides the title, publication and archival source, date, and number of pages. A total of 148 items are listed. (MAB)
