Tajuk : JOHN DAVIES, ARCHIVES EXECUTIVE OFFICER, NATIONAL ARCHIVES OF MALAYSIA, PETALING JAYA. TO UNDERGO FOR A TRAINING COURSE IN REPAIR AND PRESERVATION OF RECORDS AT THE BRITISH PUBLIC RECORDS OFFICE; 14.4.1964
Deskripsi : MR. JOHN DAVIES, ARCHIVES EXECUTIVES OFFICER, WITH THE NATIONAL ARCHIVES OF MALAYSIA, PETALING JAYA, WILL BE LEAVING FOR BRITAIN ON THE 15TH OF APRIL AT 1964 HOURS TO UNDERGO A TRAINING COURSE IN REPAIR AND PRESERVATION OF RECORDS IN THE BRITISH PUBLIC RECORD OFFICE FOR ABOUT SIX MONTHS. THE TRAINING FACILITIES HAVE BEEN MADE AVAILABLE BY THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT UNDER THE COLOMBO PLAN. REPAIR AND PRESERVATION FORM A VERY IMPORTANT SECTION IN ANY ARCHIVAL INSTITUTION WHICH IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CUSTODY AND CARE OF VALUABLE PUBLIC RECORDS FOR POSTERITY AS PART OF THE NATIONAL HERITAGE. THE MORE SO IN A COUNTRY WHERE CONDITIONS FOR SURVIVAL OF DOCUMENTS ARE ABOUT THE WORST IN THE HABITABLE WORLD: A VERY HUMID CLIMATE WITH CONTINUOUS HIGH TEMPERATURE, STRONG SUNLIGHT AND ALL-DEVOURING INSECTS. MOREOVER, HUMAN BEINGS UNKNOWINGLY LEND A HELPING HAND: A NATIONWIDE SURVEY HAS RECENTLY SHOWN THAT REPAIR OF VALUABLE ARCHIVES AND RECORDS IS WIDELY PERFORMED BY PASTING SCOTCH TAPE ON THEM, A REMEDY WHICH IS WORSE THAN THE CURE. THE NATIONAL ARCHIVES HAVE MADE A START WITH REPAIR AND PRESERVATION WHEREBY A BINDERY HAS BEEN ESTABLISHED, MINOR REPAIRS AND EXPERIMENTS IN LAMINATING OLD AND FRAGILE RECORDS HAVE BEEN CARRIED OUT. HOWEVER, THE NATIONAL ARCHIVES ARE HANDICAPPED BY THE FACT THAT THERE IS NO ONE IN THE ESTABLISHMENT WHO HAS BEEN SPECIALLY TRAINED ON THIS IMPORTANT SUBJECT. THE NEED FOR SUCH A TRAINED OFFICER IS BEING INCREASINGLY FELT AND IT IS EXPECTED THAT AFTER THE COMPLETION OF HIS TRAINING MR. DAVIES WILL BE ABLE TO FILL THIS GAP. ON HIS RETURN JOURNEY HE WILL ALSO VISIT THE ARCHIVES NATIONALES IN PARIS, THE INSTITUTE FOR THE PATHOLOGY OF BOOKS AND THE UNITED NATION EDUCATION, SCIENTIFIC AND CULTURAL ORGANISATION (UNESCO) INTERNATIONAL CENTRE FOR THE STUDY OF THE PRESERVATION AND RESTORATION OF CULTURAL PROPERTY IN ROME AND THE NATIONAL ARCHIVES OF INDIA, NEW DELHI.
