Preservation Technologies (PTLP) is a company dedicated to helping universities, academic institutions, cultural entities and private companies preserve and maintain access totheir collections. PTLP was founded on the guiding principle of bringing engineering and innovation to the field of cultural preservation.

Preservation Technologies successfully developed the patented Bookkeeper® process, which extends the life of books and manuscripts by neutralizing the harmful acids foundin paper. PTLP was officially established in 1992 as a limited partnership. Reflecting on successful operations for eight years, Library of Congress requested a partnership withPTLP to set up a facility specifically to treat manuscripts and records in the Madison Building.

Bookkeeper® is the only deacidification method to meet the standards of the Library of Congress as well as current and projected OSHA, FTC and EPA consumer andenvironmental requirements. Over 550,000 assets from library and archival collections are sent to Preservation Technologies global facilities each year to be deacidified.

Having developed a reputation as a worldwide leader in paper preservation, Preservation Technologies was in a unique position to expand its services to help clients preserveother cultural collections. Large research libraries including NYU, Library of Congress and members of the Committee for Institutional Cooperation would often comment on the needto reformat and preserve their important audio, video and film collections. The MediaPreserve was founded in 2006 as a response to this need.
