Abstract

Historical archives around the world are subject to general neglect, ravages of time, poor storage, damaging environmental conditions or the destructive forces of war. The Endangered Archives Programme, first established in 2004, addresses these issues through its unyielding efforts to preserve endangered material, digitise it, safely deposit surrogate copies in more than one location and, most importantly, making it freely available online through the British Library’s website. The Programme ensures that histories of human activities from around the globe remain available for contemporary users and for future generations. This article focuses on the journey that started 14 years ago and is still ongoing due to the valuable contribution by Arcadia, a charitable fund of Lisbet Rausing and Peter Baldwin, to preserve documentary heritage. This article discusses the growth, development and achievements of the Programme. In 2018, Arcadia generously renewed its support of the Endangered Archives Programme, hopefully enabling it to reach further archives that are yet to be preserved.

延续濒危档案计划14年的历程
世界各地的历史档案普遍受到忽视,时间的蹂躏,储存不善,破坏性的环境条件或战争的破坏性力量。2004年成立的“濒危档案计划”通过不懈的努力来解决这些问题:保存濒危材料,将其数字化,在多个地方安全地存放替代副本,最重要的是,通过大英图书馆的网站免费在线提供这些材料。该方案确保当代用户和子孙后代仍然可以获得全球各地的人类活动历史。这篇文章的重点是14年前开始的旅程,由于Lisbet Rausing和Peter Baldwin的慈善基金Arcadia为保护文献遗产做出了宝贵的贡献,它仍在继续。本文讨论了该方案的成长、发展和成就。2018年,阿卡迪亚慷慨地重新支持了濒危档案计划,希望能让它接触到更多尚未保存的档案。
