ABOUT THE PROGRAM
Creating stable environmental conditions is the most significant step an
institution can take for the long-term preservation of the collections
materials under its stewardship. While most preservation actions affect
single items or groups of items, environmental conditions affect entire
collections.
Though providing stable environmental conditions is a goal for most
archives, museums, and libraries, in actuality it can be very difficult
to achieve ideal specifications. In addition to economic limitations
faced by many institutions, collections are often housed in historic
structures, in buildings with aging systems, or in structures whose
designs make environmental management difficult.
This one day program will explore new approaches to controlling
environmental conditions in cultural institutions. Leading experts in
the field will present physically and financially feasible environmental
control strategies to help institutions preserve collections materials
for the long-term.
Topics covered will include:
* The Collections Environment
* Understanding the Building/Climate Relationship
* New Approaches and Best Practices for Environmental Control
* Environmental Monitoring and Data Analysis
This program is intended for staff of cultural heritage organizations
responsible for monitoring and managing environmental conditions for
collections, including registrars, facilities managers, archivists,
librarians, curators, collections managers, and stewards of historic
house museums.
