Documentation and conservation techniques

Documentation involves carefully recording details about a collection, such as its condition, history, and storage conditions, to maintain accurate records. Conservation techniques are methods used to preserve and repair objects, ensuring their longevity. These include cleaning, stabilizing fragile materials, repairing damages, and controlling environmental factors like light, temperature, and humidity to prevent deterioration. Together, documentation ensures proper management, while conservation techniques help protect and extend the object's lifespan, preserving cultural or historical value for future generations.
