conservación preventiva

Conservación preventiva, or preventive conservation, involves proactive steps taken to protect and preserve cultural, historical, or artistic objects before they suffer damage or deterioration. It includes controlling environmental factors like temperature, humidity, and light; handling objects carefully; and ensuring proper storage and security. The goal is to minimize risks and extend the lifespan of valuable items, avoiding costly repairs or deterioration in the future. Essentially, it’s about creating conditions that keep objects stable and safe over time, reducing the need for restorative interventions later.
