The two-day training-workshop brought together participants from public libraries,government agencies, and private institutions to enhance their knowledge and skills in preserving their institutions’ valuable books and documentary heritage.

Throughout the activity, participants were introduced to the NLP’s preservation and conservation practices, including the proper handling and storage of paper-based materials. They also engaged in hands-on sessions covering book stitching and book-covering techniques, basic repair procedures such as cleaning, deacidification, and wrapping, as well as material assessment to determine appropriate conservation treatments.

Through this initiative, the NLP continues to support libraries and other government agencies in strengthening their capacity to protect and preserve valuable documentary and cultural heritage materials for future generations.

With the successful completion of this training-workshop, the October 6–7 session marks the last batch for 2026! We extend our appreciation to all participants who took part in this learning opportunity and demonstrated their commitment to safeguarding our documentary heritage.

For those who were unable to join this year’s sessions, stay tuned for announcements about the next batch expected next year! Follow the official page of the National Library of the Philippines for updates on upcoming training opportunities.
