We could do away with the levels, create one list of criteria, and if you meet a certain percentage of the items on the list, you could include your collection in the preservation registry. I know that is very simplistic and a lot more thought would have to go into developing mandatory, explanations of the different criteria, etc. , but it is another option to consider and we have a list from which to start. In addition, part of the registry include collections of those institutions that do not have the resources to meet full registry requirements, but the hope or intent is for long-term preservation of their collections.
