Archival Conservation

As archivists and trusted A.A. servants it is our responsibility to learn about and apply the methods of conserving documents, books, and other archival materials that will help to ensure our history is kept intact for future generations.  The Akron A.A. Archives maintains a conservation lab staffed by two trained volunteers trained in archival conservation techniques.
