- Description
- The Library of Congress has a requirement for preservation/archival services to re-house pre-1900 American Maps into alkaline buffered folders for the Geography & Map Division of the Library of Congress. Many of the Library's holding are housed in poor quality acidic folders, boxes, and sleeves. Acids cause the containers to become brittle and they then migrate to and destroy items inside of the containers. These acidic enclosures shall be replaced with acid-free enclosures that will be provided by the Library. Requirements include retrieval of maps from flat files, removal of maps from acidic folders, condition assessment, transfer of descriptive information located on the outside of the original folder, and return of maps to flat files. It is anticipated that approx. 75,000 maps shall be re-housed. All work shall be performed on-site. Personnel requirements include three professional archivists with a degree from an accredited master of science in Library and Information Science, or Archives Management, or related equivalent; proven experience in archives, demonstrated familiarity with archival best practices, and holdings maintenance/preservation activities. Services to include a base year and two (2) option years. Solicitation S-LC02021 will be posted on this site on or about May 9, 2002.
