A permanent log is created for each map, volume, or packet to record condition, size, pagination, substrate, and services/treatments performed. A final quality check references this log sheet. (PRV) Volume Preservation—Conservation Treatments, Deacidify, Encapsulate, & Rebinding ■Surface clean sheets to remove deposits—including dust, soot, airborne particulate, sedimentation, insect detritus, or biological/mineral contaminants. ■Remove non-archival repairs or fasteners, such as residual glues, to the furthest extent possible without causing damage to paper and inks. ■Mend tears greater than ½” with archival, acid free, and reversible materials—either Japanese tissue and methyl cellulose adhesive or Filmoplast R® (acrylic-based, heat-set tissue). ■Deacidify sheets, after careful testing, with Bookeepers®. This is a commercial solution of magnesium oxide that neutralizes acidic inks and paper by providing an alkaline reserve. Random testing ensures an 8.5 pH <± .5. ■Encapsulate each sheet in a Lay Flat Archival Polyester Pocket™ composed of SKC Films, Skyroll SH72S® Mylar. Pocket dimensions match the “book block” dimensions, with a 1¼” binding margin. ■Rebind in a custom-fitted and stamped DSB or Heritage Recorder Binder. Each is manufactured on a per-book basis and are sized to 1/4” incremental capacities. Volumes may return split or combined depending on page counts and the additional weight of the Mylar encapsulation. Index tabs are repaired or replaced, as necessary. The binders include a dedication/treatment report. (PRV) Map & Plat Preservation—Conservation Treatments, Deacidify, Encapsulate, & Rebinding [Alameda County Levels One-Three with addition of Binders] ■Surface clean sheets to remove deposits—including dust, soot, airborne particulate, sedimentation, insect detritus, or biological/mineral contaminants. ■Mounted maps are dismounted from their secondary supports if the process will not cause further degradation. Likewise, fragile plats are backed onto acid free paper, if necessary, with acid free and reversible archival quality adhesives. ■Pressure sensitive tape and adhesive residue are removed as much as possible without further degradation to the plat. Tape stains are reduced as possible. ■Sheets are deacidified as appropriate with commercially prepared magnesium oxide. Random testing ensures an 8.5 pH with a deviation of <± .5. Please note that some materials are not appropriate for deacidification, such as maps that are on architectural linen or comprised from acid-based imaging, such as blueprint and blue line. ■Mend with archival, acid-free, and reversible materials. This may include Japanese tissue and methylcellulose adhesive, Filmoplast R® (acrylic-based, heat set tissue), Crompton's tissue, or LC tissue. Architectural linen maps are repaired or backed with acid-free linen support. ■Encapsulate each sheet in a Lay Flat Archival Polyester Pocket™ composed of SKC Films, Skyroll SH72S® Mylar. Pocket dimensions match the “book block” dimensions, with a 1¼” binding margin. ■Rebind in a plat binder with an imitation leather cover in the color of choice. A metal rim protects the cover boards from bowing or breaking due to the weight of the pages and handling. This is a four-post binder. Index tabs are repaired or replaced, as necessary. The binders include a dedication/treatment report. (IM) Archival Imaging—Capture, Processing, & Enhancement ■Capture images at a minimum of 300 dpi at 256 gray levels, ensuring the highest quality for poor contrast and readability. Gray-scale ensures optimum resolution. ■Images accumulate as Group IV bi-tonal images in a standard TIFF or PDF format. ■Image Perfect, Kofile’s proprietary software, ensures the optimum image quality and uniformity with custom image clean up and enhancements such as deskew, despeckle, character repair, and zonal processing. FRESNO COUNTY, DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS AND PLANNING, CA PRESERVATION PROJECT JUNE 17, 2020 PAGE 3 I 6 ■If requested, annotations (Book, Volume, and Page) are electronically added on the digital image. Custom annotations are offered upon request. ■Images are named (for the directory file structure) by Book, Volume, and Page. ■Index images receive image stitching if entries horizontally span the length of more than one page. ■When multiple documents exist on a single page, images are split so that each document is viewable individually. Likewise, multiple images in a document are stapled together. ■Each image is certified and sight checked to ensure there are no missing pages, double feeds, and to account for “A” pages (added to the original). ■The County receives one MASTER—delivery is per the medium suitable for the project size (e.g., hard drive, DVD, CD, flash drive). ■Kofile can hold a security copy of all digital images for safekeeping.

FRESNO COUNTY, DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS AND PLANNING, CA PRESERVATION PROJECT JUNE 17, 2020 PAGE 5 I 6 SAMPLE PRESERVATION PROJECT TIMETABLE WEEK PROJECT PHASE COMMENTS 1 COMMENCEMENT & RECORDS TRANSPORT Project Manager meets with the Fresno County Department of Public Works and Planning. Records are inventoried. Records for preservation are delivered to the Kofile facility in Carson City, NV. 1 ARRIVAL Items are unpacked and inventoried against the inventory. Prior to treatments, each item is evaluated. An Information log is generated for each item. Titles are verified, items are identified with job numbers, and a stamping sheet is produced. The stamping sheet is sent to the County for verification, if required. 1—2 PREP Write and distribute job instructions. Order custom materials (e.g., binders) upon approval of stamping. Each stage of conservation is documented. A treatment log accompanies each item. 2—4 CLEANING & DEACIDIFICATION Folio surface cleaning. Removal of adhesives and repairs. All solvents and adhesives are acid free and easily reversible. Individual sheets are deacidified, as appropriate. 4—7 REPAIR & RESTORE Mending with appropriate methods, such as the application of Japanese tissues. Encapsulate sheets, if required. 8—10 DIGITIZATION Document preparation, batching, and scanning, while adhering to strict quality control policies. 8—12 BINDER ASSEMBLY Depending on the chosen housing, the designated books are bound. Binding may include rounding, backing, cover assembly, gold stamping and tooling, cutting of boards and leather, lining, and casing-in and pressing. 12—14 QUALITY CONTROL Collection undergoes final quality check. Treatment reports are finalized and returned with the collection. 14—16 RETURN The collection is boxed and delivered to Fresno County. Other project requirements are addressed as appropriate. PRESERVATION PROJECT TIMELINE Preservation projects are unique in that the work determines the schedule, response times, and completion date. Each job is individual and unique. Kofile will meet whatever reasonable timeline the County requires and will start the project upon award and execution of contract. The condition of the record determines how quickly it moves through the preservation process. Usually, older records suffer from extreme deterioration and require more attention. As the collection is processed in controlled batches and the age of the records decreases, production rate increases. ACCESSIBILITY OF RECORDS Records held at Kofile are viewed as private and confidential and treated as such. The County is guaranteed access to records via email or toll-free fax at our expense. Upon receipt of a records request, Kofile will flag the requested record and verify inventory control, pull supporting paperwork, and email/fax a response to the approved requester or alternate. The turnaround time will meet or exceed the County’s requirements. Requests received during regular working hours (8:00 A.M. CST – 5:00 P.M.

RETENTION SCHEDULE Historical and archival government records have permanent retention schedules. The California Secretary of State’s Local Government Records Management Guidelines define “Archival Record” as “Records with enduring value because they reflect significant historical events, document the history and development of an agency, or provide valuable research data” (Archives Division Records Management, Feb. 2006). The Guidelines continue, identifying the primary principle of record management: According to Government Code, Section 14740, California’s Records Management Program is designed to “…apply efficient and economical management methods to the creation, utilization, maintenance, retention, preservation, and disposal of state records.” Effective Records Management ensures that records are kept only as long as they have some administrative, fiscal, or legal value. When records no longer fulfill the value for which they were created, they should be destroyed unless they also have some historic or research significance. If that is the case, the records should be preserved by an appropriate historical agency. Staff members should realize that an effective records management program is not only cost effective, it will also make their jobs easier. They should also know that records retained beyond their value “just in case” only extend the agency’s legal liability in the event of adverse litigation. These principles apply to all levels of government. Please let us know if you have any questions. Sincerely, Eugene Sisneros Eugene Sisneros Account Manager eugene.sisneros@kofile.us 713.204.5734 sgr
