formats, will be preserved in accessible form for as long as possible. In 1986 this programme set up a network of Regional Centres to deal with preservation issues around the world (Appendix II). The PAC Programme publishes a newsletter, International Preservation News, three times a year in English, French and Spanish, free of charge. Issue number 24 from May 2001 is totally dedicated to Preservation in Asia and the Pacific (see also Blanco, 1988). Next to IFLA there are, of course, plenty of regional library associations. To mention one example: the Congress of Southeast Asian Librarians (CONSAL). It was founded in Singapore in 1970 in response to a growing sense of Southeast Asian identity, fostered particularly by the formation of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). Its main mission is to promo te library and information development in the region and to lead the region towards gre ater participa tion in the internatio nal information community. 1.7.4 Pacific Manuscript Bureau The Pacific Manuscripts Bureau (PMB) is one of very few long-term archival projects in the world based on international cooperation. For 33 years it has responded to the twin imperatives of academic research requirements and the need to preserve the docum entary cultural heritage of the Pacific islands. The Bureau is small in scale but nevertheless has a strong reputation, a resilience born out of the necessity of its task and an enormous amount of support (Cunningham et al., 1996). 1.7.5 NRLC The National Research Laboratory for Conservation of Cultural Property (NRLC) is a scientific institution, supported by the Indian government, established in 1976 to give a scientific footing to the conservation of cultural property in India. In its formative stages, the NRLC was developed with assistance from the UNDP (United Nations Development Programme) and UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization), and now it is an associated member of ICCROM (International Centre for the Study of the Preservation and Restoration of Cultural Property). To achieve this end, NRLC carries out research in materials and methods of conservation and diagnostic investigations, imparts training in preventive and curative conservation, disseminates knowledge in conservation and related areas through library and information service, provides technical assistance in the development of conservation facilities. The NRLC has developed and standardised a good number of methods for the conservation of different types of objects and for the analytical study of cultural property. It has also conducted several workshops on preventive conservation and training programmes in curative conservation for candidates from South and Southeast Asia. 1.7.6 APOYO The Asociación para la Conservación del Patrimonio Cultural de las Américas (APOYO), Association for the Conservation of the Cultural Patrimony of the Americas, is an informal group of international members with the mission of supporting the conservation and preservation of the material cultural patrimony of the Americas (see Torres, 1994 and 1997). It was started in 1989 by interested members of the AIC (the American Institute of Conservation of Historic and Artistic Works) but has functioned independently. The main goals of APOYO are to bond professionals working in the conservation of Latin American cultural heritage, to promote high standards and to inform members in their native languages. To meet this need, the immediate objective was to promote and accelerate the exchange of informatio n on conservation and preservation issues. APO YO has promoted this exchange through an outreach programme. Today the strategic APOYO-network includes approximately 4,000 conservation and preservation professionals, and continues to grow. These professionals are drawn from throughout the Americas, as well as Spain and other countries. Since 1990 APOYO has produced a newsletter consisting of one or two issues a year. Currently it is the only publication on conservation issues in Spanish reaching such wide audience. A directory of individuals and institutions involved in the conservation and preservation of the cultural patrimony of the Americas was published in 1996, in 1998 and in 2000. Useful information, especially significant translated preservation literature, can also be found on the website of the Bibliotheca Nacional de V enezuela (National Library of Venezuela). On the website Conservation online (CoOL) Whitney Baker has added several pages on Conservation in Latin America. 1.7.7 CECOR The main objective of the Brazilian Centro de Conservação e Restauração de Bens Culturais Móveis (CECOR), the Center of Conservation and Restoration of Cultural Movable Properties at the Federal University of Minas Gerais, is the application of scientific techniques for the protection of the Brazilian cultural patrimony. This way CECOR wants to contribute to the protection and the study of the worldwide patrimony. The main areas of research are the scientific analysis of works of art in order to increase knowledge of the constituent materials and artistic techniques, and preventive conservation to understand better the physical, chemical and biological processes involved in the ageing and deterioration of artefacts. They have a very interesting website in Portuguese with some publications on preventive conservatio n online. They also host the CPBA, Projeto Co nservação Preventiva em Bibliotecas e Arquivos (Project on Preventive Conservation in Libraries and Archives). The project aims to propagate preservation knowledge of the documentary heritage by dissemination and exchange. Its activities are carried out in cooperation with a great number of institutions. The CPBA has already translated 53 titles on preservation into Portuguese and recently published a manual on Microfilming in Archives. They also publish a M ap of Preservation. Also worth mentioning are the websites of ABR ACOR , the Brazilian Association of Conservators and Restaurators, and Arquivo Nacional, the Brazilian National Archives. 1.7.8 GCI
The Getty Conservation Institute (GCI), a programme of the J. Paul Getty Trust since 1982, engages in activities dedicated to furthering conservation practice and education in order to enhance and encourage the preservation, understanding, and interpretation of the visual arts- broadly interpreted to include objects, collections, architecture, and sites. The Institute serves the international conservation community through scientific research into the nature, decay, and treatment of materials; in education and training; model projects in the field; and the dissemination of information through both traditional publications and electronic means. They initiated several fascinating research projects such as Collections in Hot and Humid Environments, Latin American Consortium, Performance of Pollutant Adsorbents, and the Maya Initiative (see GCI website).
