Abstract
Now-a-days, while a mature system of preservation and conservation (PAC) technology and
methodology exists world wide to achieve the systematic PAC of world’s cultural heritage, the
PAC programs of Bangladesh National Archives (the custodian of Bangladesh Government’s
records) have excluded the same provisions to sustain the usable life of it’s resources. In this
circumstance, this study seeks to articulate the current PAC status of archives in Bangladesh
National Archives, and examine the barriers that have hindered the development of fullfledged
PAC program for them. Finally some recommendations have been put forward at the
consideration of Bangladesh National Archives so that it can employ the minimum technologies
for proper care of its resources and become gradually able to adopt latest technologies for
the preservation of manual archives together with the development of a national digital repository
of archives.
