Preservation Standards

Preservation standards refer to established guidelines and practices aimed at conserving cultural heritage, documents, and artifacts for future generations. These standards ensure that materials are stored, handled, and displayed in ways that minimize deterioration and damage. They take into account factors like temperature, humidity, light exposure, and physical handling. Organizations, museums, and libraries follow these standards to maintain the integrity and longevity of collections, ensuring that important historical and cultural items remain accessible and in good condition for research, education, and public enjoyment.
