text: LAC's vast collection contains information resources in analogue and digital format, including books, government publications, maps, works of art, photographs, and audio and video recordings. LAC is responsible for preserving these information resources so that current and future generations can access them. LAC carries out this responsibility in two ways: first, by relying on the expertise and know-how of its preservation and digitization specialists, and second, by optimizing the infrastructures and preservation conditions that prevent the deterioration of documents and preserve their long-term integrity.
