Disaster Management in Archives, Libraries and Museums (1st ed.)

摘要

The published literature in disaster management in the cultural sector has increased significantly over the last 20 years or so. A key event was the fire at Norwich Central Library in 1994, which greatly influenced approaches to disaster management in the archival, library and museum domains. Disaster management was no longer an optional activity; it became and is a strategic and operational necessity, contextualised by the creation of risk registers and complemented by business continuity planning. This work, Disaster Management in Archives, Libraries and Museums, is yet more evidence of the importance of disaster management in the cultural sector in the UK, and is the first to address all three domains.
