Collection Care

Collection care involves the practices used to preserve and protect items of value, such as art, artifacts, or historical objects. It includes monitoring environmental conditions like temperature and humidity, handling items carefully, preventing damage from pests or light, and ensuring proper storage. The goal is to maintain the item's condition over time, allowing future generations to appreciate and learn from them. Good collection care combines knowledge of materials with preventive measures, creating a safe and stable environment that minimizes deterioration and prolongs the life of the objects.
