Friday's #Archive30 theme was #ArchiveAdvice. Our Conservator recently hosted training for archivists to learn preservation techniques which they could then apply to their own work. This opportunity to exchange #ArchiveAdvice between professionals strengthens our ability to preserve collections

Some evergreen advice and study tips for students from Your Cue, Coed! (1945). We're biased, but we definitely think students should go to the library and study. At least today's students are safe from green caps (which denoted class status). #ArchiveAdvice #Archive30 #HistEd #Archives

Page with typed text. Titled 'Cellulose transparent adhesive tape'. With two paragraphs. First explaining on which forms the use of adhesive tape is allowed for repairs. Second paragraph that adhesive tape is not to be used for other documents which may be required for long-term preservation at the Public Record Office.
In 1960 we were already thinking about long-term preservation of our documents @UkNatArchives
by advising colleagues not to use adhesive tape on documents. #Archive30 #ArchiveAdvice
