An archive is the primary source of historical importance. It reflects the glorious past. It is also historical evidence. However, there is a problem of deterioration. Deterioration is a characteristic of all hard documents, with the records deteriorating over time. This is why our ancestors had tried to preserve all the manuscripts and ancient documents by using or applying various traditional and modern methods and techniques. In this paper, we discuss how to protect our heritage for the future. In India, the West Bengal State Archive takes an excellent initiative for protecting the historical evidence. This paper also discusses their efforts to preserve the manuscripts.
