In-house collaboration between the archives and preservation departments
of Association of Research Libraries (ARL) member
libraries is not well established. This article presents data from a
survey of special collections repositories in ARL member libraries,
conducted in 1995 and repeated in 2006, that document the low
levels of collaboration. The authors probe the history and development
of preservation efforts in archives and in libraries and make a
case for further examination of how the expertise and resources of
archives and preservation departments can be shared in managing
the preservation of archival materials.
