3 BENEFITS OF PRESERVATION

The purpose of preservation is to extend the useful life of library collections so that users
can access them for a longer period of time. The investigation was carried out using a variety
of reviews of the literature on library preservation. The preservation of archival materials has
been the subject of reviews of several types of literature that have been specifically focused.

All organization ’s information resources are indeed very significant since they are
essential to both the ongoing operation of the business and its continued existence. To ensure
that these information resources last for a long time, they must be shielded from all types of
deterioration. The following are some benefits of preservation.

Firstly, future use. If we want to guarantee that research materials will be used and reused
in the future, preservation issues are crucial. You can reuse data that you didn't utilise for
your final products for additional study. Suddenly, validation and reinterpretation. You may
support the scientific community by making sure that your research data are preserved and
accessible going forward. Results can be verified and validated, as is already done in the
scientific research community. Although, existence and accessibility. That issues with
preservation and accessibility can arise at any point in the process of your study. If you don't
think about it early on in the study process, you risk losing access to your research data for
the duration of your particular project. Much work has been done on the benefits of
preserving your data and we have chosen some of the benefits to the individual and the
institution of doing so.

Therefore, it have some benefits for individuals. improvement in data organisation and
discovery. This has an impact on both your current and future access to your data. Reduces
the likelihood of data loss, which is every researcher's worst nightmare. Without doing
anything increases the likelihood that your study would be lost, preservation will assist
safeguard your data from being destroyed. That is all there is to it!. A source of new research
ideas. The same data is examined by different people, who draw different conclusions.
Reducing the requirement for creating new data from scratch. There might be a lot of
unnecessary repetition in the academic world. This resource-wasting re-creation is avoided by
maintaining access to research data, which is the main goal of preservation.
 Takes into account the check of information. This is a significant piece of the exploration
cycle and happens in many disciplines. Research information is a fundamental part of this.
Permits various stories or information mining to be finished with the information. Regularly
the public results of an exploration project are just a restricted depiction of a lot more
extensive group of work. Making the material accessible after some time for future analysts.
Scientists representing things to come, be they antiquarians or from different disciplines, will
benefit significantly from approaching the examination accumulated. In contrast to paper
material, however, interest in the safeguarding of examination information Should happen at
the mark of creation through a few basic measures of any other way it will be lost. Sharing is
subject to conservation! It is clearly the situation that in the event that the information isn't
protected then it can't be imparted to anybody. It can upgrade notoriety. The chance for
scientists to access, use and hence refer to your examination information will improve your
remaining as a specialist in your space. Safeguards profits from interest in your examination.
Decreases chance of information abuse. Accurately kept up with and safeguarded information
will guarantee that our information is appropriately refered to and less inclined to being
copied.

Thus, it can save money. This means that these information resources are very expensive
when purchased by archival. The funds allocated to archival are so small that resources must
be taken care of. This saves them from a high expense, as the saying goes that it is only
librarians who tend to pursue or keep buying new collections rather than tending to old ones.
This means that the materials should be intact and well maintained, rather than chasing new
collections. It guarantees efficiency and means that all-important materials survive.
Efficiency refers to the quickest and quickest way to access your documents. Protect the
memory of a company or organization. That is, the memory in which data can be stored.
These sources of information are documented so organizations can relate to everything they
do. It protects culture. Heritage refers to what we hold on to, a tradition, language or culture,
that tells us something about the past and is still relevant in the present.

Pointing out that conservation measures must be taken into account when preserving
archival material, otherwise it is not worth preserving, it is futile to grant access and the
document is safe for future generations. In other words, the benefit of preservation is to
ensure the accessibility of information and to ensure the eventual survival of the document.
According to Mnjama (2010), documentary material can help us understand, explain and
enjoy both the visible and invisible worlds.
Access to these archival materials helps us know the past, understand the present and
know the future. In terms of preserving information from the past, we are also preserving the
collective memory of future generations. This means that archival materials will be available
to the next generation. According to Clooman (2001), the benefits of preserving archival
material can be summarized as “preservation enables continuity between past, present and
future”. The increase in library and archive knowledge and experience is remarkable.
However, it is a waste of resources when institutions deposit large sums of money collecting
and processing archival materials and this important resources unavailable to users.
Therefore, preservation measures must be put in place to ensure that users are able to access
it. For example, Documents are collected and preserved such as paper and other information
carriers. In order to learn from them. Acquisition, processing and organization of library
materials of library materials are expensive for use rather than allowing them to deteriorate.
3.0 CONCLUSION

In conclusion, preservation helps keep information accessible and useful. Preservation

helps ensure the longevity of content-valued objects, allowing information to be learned from
them as artifacts. Preservation and conservation efforts not only support research and
scientific activity, but also affect everyday life. Access to building records provides building
safety information and useful construction details during natural disasters. State or local
records containing information about waste storage can prevent housing developments from
being built in areas where waste was previously stored. Photos, maps, and other visual
documents help revitalize neighborhoods and business districts. Organizational records help
plan future community programs.

The existence of information in its myriad forms, maintained or preserved over time, has
benefits for all generations. It continues to provide the foundation for development of new
information, knowledge, and skills. Societies and groups of people throughout history have
sought to document their experience. It is from recorded information that we have learned
about past cultures and peoples, how they lived, what they thought, what they placed value
on, be it ideas or objects, and even what may have led to their demise. Information stored on
paper, in books, through still and moving images, on sound recordings and electronic media,
and in works of art, in original or surrogate form, help to define our culture and society,
drives economic and political decisions, and should remain essential to our global heritage
and cultures. Libraries, archives, local and state historical societies, conservation labs,
museums, and related institutions serve as the custodians of these resources and as such make
the effort to preserve information for generations to come.
