A critically needed preservation project — WESTPAS, Western States and Territories Preservation Assistance Service — is being instituted to address the unique circumstances of the Western and Pacific United States. To describe the project and its goals, the originators of the project were interviewed — Barclay Ogden, Head of the Preservation Department from the University of California, Berkeley and Julie Page, WESTPAS User Services Coordinator and former Head of Preservation at the University of California, San Diego.
