One of IFLA’s most valuable assets are the members of the library field who volunteer their time and expertise in Sections, committees, and other groups.

Preservation and Conservation (PAC) Centres 

IFLA’s PAC Centres are not a part of IFLA’s Professional Programme. Rather, they are an important aspect of the Preservation and Conservation (PAC) Strategic Programme. They carry out independent projects that tackle regionally specific issues and build local capacity, while exchanging knowledge across their network and beyond.
