preservation of artifacts

Preservation of artifacts involves protecting and maintaining historical objects to ensure they remain accessible and in good condition for future study and enjoyment. This process includes controlling environmental factors like light, temperature, and humidity that can damage materials. It also involves cleaning, repairing, and using special storage methods to prevent deterioration from pests, moisture, or decay. The goal is to slow down natural aging causes while respecting the artifact’s original state, enabling researchers and the public to learn from and appreciate cultural history for generations to come.
