Area Studies Council

Resources Relating to Foreign Microfilming Projects

The Area Studies Council (ASC) is engaged in ongoing efforts to provide access to resources for foreign microfilming projects.  This site will provide information on standard works for preservation microfilming, instruction or training manuals created for specific projects, translations of such manuals into other languages, successful grant projects, lists of foreign vendors & filmers, examples of contracts used with staff or vendors, and other resources. 

This site goes hand-in-hand with ASC's Resources for International Preservation page.  The companion page provides information and links to general preservation resources, with a focus on an international audience.
