The Main Difference between preservation and conservation is

'"prevention of any document or non print materials before damage  and In conservation we give the treatment of any document or non-print material after damage". 

In single sentence we can say that pre-and post cure of any document or non-print materials"

Thank You Dear Mahesh! Anybody Else! who may crystallize the difference?  

Preservation and conservation of library materials are meant for upkeep of materials for future use. Preservation deals with the regular maintenance aspect, whereas conservation with the remedial treatment and restoration of the already damaged specimen.

.............................

Preservation and Conservation are often used interchangeably to mean: the process of keeping an object safe from harm or loss, damage,destruction or decay, and maintaining it in a reasonably sound condition for present and future use. But strictly speaking, these two words have different, though interrelated and   overlapping connotations. ‘Conservation’ has three aspects:

1) Examination : To determine the nature/properties of materials and causes of

deterioration and alteration.

2) Preservation : Adoption of appropriate prophylactic and prospective measures to

maintain the specimen in as good a condition as possible, and to prolong its life to

whatever extent possible.

3) Restoration : Appropriate remedial treatment of an already affected specimen.

 

 Conservation mainly related to rare and old documents.

Preservation term related to any documents -to be protected for future (even the new one )
