Abstract
The text of these Principles has been compiled and agreed by the members of the Standing Committee of the IFLA Section on Conservation. It is published in the IFLA Journal in this form as a means of presenting the text to the widest Library community.
It is intended that translations of the text in French, German and Russian should appear in relevant library journals.
The purpose of these Principles is to establish a responsible attitude to conserva tion and restoration in libraries and to encourage those entrusted with the care of library and archive collections, old and new, to formulate a positive policy on the future of these collections.
The Standing Committee invites comments upon these Principles and these should be sent to the Secretary of the IFLA Section on Conservation, Mr. Peter Brown, Librarian of Trinity College, College Street, Dublin 2, Ireland.
