Archival Quality Trademark
The ‘Archival Quality’ Trademark scheme is an initiative of
the National Archives of Australia. The term ‘Archival Quality’
in this context refers to a product with a level of chemical stability
and physical strength such that it will survive for long periods and cope
with a high level of handling. Central to the scheme has been the creation
of this ‘certification trademark’, and a set of strict rules
relating to its use.
Look for the "Archival Quality" trademark when seeking products recommended by the National Archives of Australia.
