“When Less is All You Got! Budget-conscious solutions to protect collections
on display and in storage”
April 21, 2015, 2:00 – 3:30, EDT, with Ernest Conrad and Lisa Mibach.
In an ideal world, all buildings that house and display collections would have
purpose-designed environmental control systems that work, enclosed display
cases, chemically-neutral storage and display cases and containers, and enough
trained staff to care for collections. Unfortunately, this is not always the
case.
The first part of the webinar will illustrate the diagnostic effects of the
lack of environmental controls, and will discuss budget-conscious solutions to
protect collections on display and in storage. The second part will deal with
proper storage and display conditions so that objects can weather minor
disruptions. If you don’t have ideal storage and display conditions, you
need to have regularly updated priority lists of objects (in order of
vulnerability) to check during/after an environmental failure or change.
