Preventive Conservation

Preventive conservation is a proactive approach in the field of conservation that focuses on safeguarding cultural heritage, such as artworks, documents, and artifacts, before they deteriorate or are damaged. It involves assessing and controlling environmental factors like temperature, humidity, light, and pollution, as well as implementing best practices for handling, storage, and display. By prioritizing these measures, preventive conservation aims to extend the lifespan of heritage items and ensure they remain intact for future generations, ultimately preserving our shared history and cultural identity.
