The present document has been drawn up on the basis of the following: "Guide to preserving bibliographical materials and archival documents on paper: General considerations" (2015), by the History Department of the Comprehensive Information Center of the Central University of Ecuador, "Guide to preventive measures for cultural heritage property in the event of the threat of earthquakes" (2011) and "Guide to preventive mea-sures for cultural heritage property in the event of volcanic eruptions" (2015), by the Na-tional Cultural Heritage Institute (INPC) and "Contingency Handbook: Preventive measures for cultural heritage property in the event of volcanic eruptions", by the Ministry of Culture and Heritage (2016). It has been prepared for the purpose of disseminating knowledge and promoting support in recovering archives (repositories of memory) of the province of Manabí, in the framework of the "Local Capacity-Building Project for the Emergency Conservation of Historical Archives in Areas Affected by the April 16 Earth-quake (16A)".

El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar los riesgos de inundación y humedad en las ciudades históricas para establecer una metodología que priorice las actuaciones de conservación preventiva y las restauraciones. El estudio de caso se refiere al centro histórico de Sevilla (España) y a las iglesias parroquiales construidas entre los siglos XIII y XVIII.

This Report builds upon the information and advice that was freely offered by the speakers during the Conference programme. It aims to relate the presentations, and discussion outcomes, to emerging thoughts on the impact of fire when creating a Building Information Modelling for Conservation (BIM4C) initiative by identifying what issues need to be considered in a Historic Building Information Modelling (HBIM) environment.

The document describes ways in which libraries can prepare for such disasters, as well as how to deal with resources damaged due to such disasters. Flooding, leaks, heavy rain, hurricanes, and fire sprinkler activation are some of the reasons why water can enter a library facility. It can damage library resources and infrastructure as well as disrupt services for a long time.

This study attempts to create a set of cultural heritage risk maps. Using flood as its primary disaster type and New Taipei City in northern Taiwan as its targeted area, this study first analyses disaster-prone areas using current global preservation approaches.

Guide for recovery of libraries and archives affected by water or fire

Este documento presenta ejemplos típicos de daños al patrimonio cultural inmueble debidos a inundaciones.

Las inundaciones tienen efectos devastadores no sólo en los materiales y estructuras en contacto con las aguas superficiales. Igualmente importante es el comportamiento de los cimientos en interacción con el subsuelo. Esta contribución ofrece una visión general de los distintos fenómenos que surgen en el subsuelo y en el nivel de los cimientos durante la subida de las aguas subterráneas, acompañada de varios casos prácticos relacionados con el patrimonio cultural. También se discuten posibles medidas geotécnicas.
