This paper describes and analyses the major organizations involved in library and archive preservation in the UK and Ireland, and puts them in their international context. The work was based on a questionnaire survey and interviews with stakeholders, as part of a wider review of the role of the National Preservation Office. It is concluded that the complexity has led to some confusion, and that there is a lack of coordination which needs to be resolved.
