Collections Care

Collections Care involves the practices and measures taken to preserve and protect cultural, historical, or artistic items over time. It includes proper handling, storage, environmental control (like maintaining the right temperature and humidity), and regular monitoring to prevent deterioration. The goal is to ensure these objects remain in good condition for future generations to study and enjoy. Effective collections care requires knowledge of materials, careful organization, and preventive maintenance, helping to safeguard valuable items from damage caused by light, pests, pollution, or handling.
