preservation technologies

Preservation technologies are methods used to protect and extend the life of materials such as documents, artwork, food, or biological samples. They include techniques like temperature and humidity control, chemical treatments, and specialized storage conditions to prevent deterioration caused by factors like mold, decay, light, or pests. These technologies ensure that valuable or sensitive items remain intact, functional, and accessible for future use, research, or enjoyment. Essentially, preservation combines science and careful handling to maintain the integrity of materials over time.
