"An Ounce of Preservation: A Guide to the Care of Papers and Photographs" by
Craig A. Tuttle, 1994 ($14.50) is a good source for amateurs.

Archival Collection/Preservation Guide for AmateursHello friends,
I am looking for a very simple Archival Collection/Preservation Guide for
Amateurs that I can give to an alumnus who is maintaining a family archive,
including the papers and drawings of an architect. He is not ready to give
it away yet but is concerned about proper storage and preservation. He is
also interested in filling in the missing gaps so that the archive is more
complete.
Can any of you recommend a suitable Book or Pamphlet that offers guidance to
amateur family historians or "keepers of the family heirlooms" which would
include storage and preservation tips as well as pointers on completing the
archival record, how to document the collection, what to put in the will,
and how to approach a library or archives when it is time to find a
permanent home for the collection.
If you can suggest something or just point me to a website, it would be much
appreciated.
Sincerely,
Jill Patrick
Ontario College of Art & Design
