The LAC Preservation Centre: What's there?

Preservation laboratories using leading edge technology

Individual laboratories for conservation treatment, preservation copying of records, and digitization are constructed in a village-like setting, on the top floor of the building, directly over the three-story vault structure. This enables all of the Library and Archives Canada preservation experts, approximately 70 in total, to work together under the same roof.
