Precedent Studies

The precedent study was undertaken the design and interface of the NAM's web.  It is categories as a "formal" web which contains everything of that of NAM. The use of video in presenting the functions involving NAM is good in attracting the attention of the viewers. However, considering the subject area which is "preservation" and how the NAM do the preservation, it is not "much there to gain and see".

With this, for those who are interested in preserving their own invaluable documents, such as own family historical documents, they can start of by learning the process to preserve documents in a proper way. The topic of preservation is actually an interested topic to be explained and make well known to Malaysians as it can give some ideas to the Malaysians what should they do with any archives that they keep.  Aware the importance of this topic may lead them to protect, preserve and conserve whatever achieves materials that they have at home.  Knowing the technique to bind may help them prolong the "life" of the archives and if the preservation and conservation awareness are in their mind, they may think of giving it away to NAM as a safe place to maintain and preserve the archives so that it can be used for future generations.

Due to that, the simple informational way of delivering the information is vital, so that it will attract the people, especially the youngsters, to get to know NAM. Having the interactive information of the content, through blog, may simplify the understanding of the topic of preservation.

For the researchers, promotions of the NAM need to be broadly done. Not only should there be advertisement when there is a joint function of the NAM and other government agencies, but also every now and then it must be promoted. The joint venture with RTM will help promoting NAM.
