THE CLUB-MEETING OF THE ARCHIVAL SECTION ON DOCUMENT PROTECTION OF THE ARCHIVES Budapest, May 12th, 1982 In her introductory Ágnes Ságvári, the chairperson of the archival section and of the club day emphasized the importance of the activity of document protection with special regard to the large quantity of 20th century source materials of a very bad basic material streaming into the archives and the commonly unfavourable storage possibilities at the Hungarian archives. Mrs. Ságvári stressed that over the past few years divisions responsible for document protection, have been established and thus a group of workers specifically dealing with archival document protection has come into being not only with the National Archives, but also with the New Hungarian Central Archives and at the Budapest City Public Record Office and, though to a smaller extent, at the archives in the countryside. Certain co-operation can be observed among the individual archives and the divisions of other institutions carrying out a similar activity. The aim of the consultation is an evaluation of the achievements of the archival document protection reached so far and mapping the problems to be solved and to determine the activity for the coming years to this end. The main lecture of the club day, held by Mr. Iván Borsa, was entitled. The Document Protection of the Archives. In his lecture he touched, upon in detail the negative features concerning the material of archival documents and the quality of written materials used, the conditions at archives and the shortfall in the field of setting up domestic archival target buildings. He pointed out the importance of the work to be done at the archival stores with particular emphasis on the .adherence to the set value limits of temperature and air humidity conditions. Following a review of the proposed optimal solutions for storage shelves and the preservation units, he dwelt on the problems of disinfection and restoration. He stressed that etilenoxid gas applied in vacuum is the most suitable way of document disinfection, while there have not been unambiguous processes used for the preservation of documents. Many support the advantages of the lamination method. Microfilming is also important, however, it caters for a passive document protection. He emphasized the importance of teaching the basic knowledge of practical protection and document preservation to a maximal extent under the given conditions. Among the contributors Mrs. A. Albrecht reviewed the working methods and achievements of the Material Protection Department
