The San Pablo Catholic University, Arequipa-Peru held an international symposium on book conservation management and ancient documents

The San Pablo Catholic University (UCSP), in November 2022, received two leading experts on bibliographic heritage, this during its Research Week. They participated in the Symposium of the Codicis project, which is led by San Pablo and seeks the preservation of documentary heritage, through the training of personnel for its management, recovery and conservation.

In that regard, he clarified that this is one more step in the conservation of documentary heritage, but it is not all. “Digitization must be carried out following conservation standards. Furthermore, the files expire and you have to be changing and updating the system where the repository is located,” said the specialist.

Although the great advantage of digitization is that researchers can consult any document, without having to go to the library or mistreat the document, for this to be correct, the books must be inventoried and cataloged depending on their age, their rarity, among others. other characteristics that make them unique.

Gerardo Trillo commented on the work carried out in the National Library of Peru for the conservation of books that are considered heritage. He recalled that these must be appraised (put a price on them), not with the desire to market them, but to know the cost to catalog the specimens.

The Bicentennial Project stood out, in which an inventory of the collection of the renowned historian Jorge Basadre was made in the city of Tacna, a work that was recently completed. “Recognizing that this is a complex process that has different stages allowed us to do a good job with basic tools,” he said.

The expert highlighted that inventorying the books will also prevent them from being trafficked. “You don't know the number of times we have had to go rescue texts from Customs,” he commented. He recalled that there are already policies for public libraries, since 2018, which has helped the texts to remain in good condition.

The specialists held conferences and participated in discussions with staff from libraries and other institutions that have ancient collections, as well as with teachers and staff from San Pablo who do the same. These were spaces for dialogue to learn, first-hand, the needs and opportunities for the conservation of ancient texts.
