Overview: Providing the best protection for collections from the most common causes of loss is a basic principle of preventive maintenance. The best way to deal with water and fire damage is to be prepared for it. Emergency preparedness is an important component of overall preservation planning. An emergency preparedness plan should cover all hazards, including water and fire, that pose a reasonable threat to collections. The primary biological agents that cause damage to library and archival collections are mold, rodents, and insects, although dogs, cats, birds, and humans also harm materials. Once mold appears, the affected items should be isolated from the collection.
