MAPS THE MICROGRAPHIC PRESERVATION SERVICE IS NOW
PRESERVATION RESOURCES
DUBLIN, Ohio, Jan. 20, 1994--MAPS The MicrogrAphic Preservation Service has
changed its name to Preservation Resources, a division of OCLC.
"The name change reflects the evolution of the organization and reiterates
its ongoing commitment to provide the library and archive community with a
broad array of high-quality preservation services with the goal of preserving
and furthering access to research material," said Meg Bellinger, president of
Preservation Resources.
Preservation Resources will "broaden its message" to reach smaller and more
diverse organizations that need reformatting services, according to Ms.
Bellinger. New or enhanced pre- and post-filming services will include
workshops, consultation, preparation, bibliographic control, storage, and
access and distribution options.
"We plan to develop services to digitize and index images from preservation
microfilm and make them available in electronic formats," she said. "We will
expand our storage and distribution services to help alleviate the interlibrary
loan burden, and we will explore alternative funding options to assist in
cost-shared preservation projects."
Preservation Resources staff will be in the OCLC booth (no. 442) at the ALA
Midwinter Meeting in Los Angeles, Feb. 5-8. A new brochure describing
Preservation Resources services will be available at the booth and will be sent
(over)

to Preservation Resources clients. It includes Preservation Resources' new
toll-free number, (800) PRES-222 (773-7222).
Preservation Resources, a division of OCLC, provides a variety of services,
including consultation and workshops on the preservation of research materials
in libraries, archives, museums, and historical societies in the United States
and abroad. Preservation Resources produces high-quality microfilm and
microfiche of books, manuscripts, scrapbooks, newspapers, architectural
drawings, maps, and photographic materials.
Preservation Resources, a nonprofit organization, was founded in 1985 by
Columbia, Cornell, and Princeton Universities, the New York Public Library, and
the New York State Library, and was originally called the Mid-Atlantic
Preservation Service (MAPS). In October 1990, the MAPS Board of Trustees,
composed of representatives of MAPS' founding members, voted unanimously to
transfer control of MAPS to OCLC. To reflect the transition from a regional to
an international base, the name was changed to MAPS The MicrogrAphic
Preservation Service. OCLC became the sole member of MAPS and OCLC executives
were appointed to the new Board of Trustees. On Jan. 1, 1994, MAPS became a
division of OCLC and is now known as Preservation Resources.
Preservation Resources is housed in a new, 17,650-square-foot building
located in Bethlehem, Pa. The building is divided into offices, conference
rooms, areas for camera workstations, film developing, testing and quality
assurance, and a temperature- and humidity-constant storage vault for long-term
storage of microfilm masters. The building was dedicated on April 30, 1991.
Preservation Resources uses state-of-the-art Herrmann & Kraemer (H&K)
cameras for all its 35mm microfilming. The new German-made cameras enable
Preservation Resources micrographic technicians to achieve the best possible
results in terms of quality and consistency. Thirteen H&K cameras are
currently in use, including one that is large enough to film blueprints,
architectural drawings, and other large materials. (NC)
