Together with other leading institutions, four International Round-Tables on preservation microfilm have been convened, to facilitate the sharing of knowledge and experience and to try to agree a united approach to a common problem. The first International Round-Table was convened at the British Library in London in December 2002, at which were present representatives of major research libraries and leading microfilm producers. Conducted under Chatham House Rules, its members were able to discuss openly the situations in their own institutions and meeting produced a set of "St Pancras Principles" for agreeing a way forward. A second International Round-Table was convened in Washington at the Library of Congress in March 2004. Members updated each other on progress they had made in managing their acetate collections and/or plans they were putting in place in response to the problems identified. One of the actions of this meeting was that the British Library would host an international conference the following Spring, in order to widen the debate and to encourage discussion and collaboration. The conference (CAMF) took place in May 2005, preceded by the third International Round-Table. The British Library has dedicated several pages on its Collection Care web site to provide access to the papers and reports associated with the Round-Tables and to the presentations and proceedings of the conference. The proceedings of the fourth International Round-Table, which was convened at Princeton University, New Jersey on May 5th 2006, will be incorporated soon. The CAMF website, which will be maintained and updated by the British Library, can be found at http://www.bl.uk/about/collectioncare/acetate/camfintro.html ********************************************************************** Experience the British Library online at www.bl.uk <http://www.bl.uk/> Help the British Library conserve the world's knowledge.
