Picking up the pieces: an organizational profile of the Library Disaster Centre

Abstract

Businesses which lose their paper documents in a disaster face tremendous losses and potential closure. Document SOS specializes in restoring paper materials damaged by fire, flood, mould or bomb attacks. Their specialist techniques rely on analysing the complex chemical properties of the different types of paper and damage. Document SOS has also extended its consultancy services through the Library Disaster Centre. Members have access to a database of advice and procedures and a 24‐hour pledge in case of emergency.
