Preservation Management

Museums and galleries that manage specimens, artefacts, art pieces, photographs and other collections of work need to apply acute surveillance of curation and storage for each object’s protection and continued care. Within the walls of preservation temperature and relative humidity (RH) typically need to be closely controlled and kept at suitable levels for the duration of its lifetime. Unfavourable environmental conditions can potentially harm and can cause unintended deterioration to the artefacts.

This is why making use of data loggers which record measurements of temperature, humidity and light can greatly influence the way in which curators or gallery owners would exhibit and store artefacts to ensure their preservation and the integrity of facility management for optimal control.
