Preventive Conservation Strategies

Preventive conservation strategies involve actions taken to protect cultural heritage items, like artworks or historical objects, from damage and deterioration. This includes controlling environmental factors such as temperature, humidity, and light, as well as proper handling, storage, and display methods. Regular maintenance and monitoring also play a key role in preventing issues before they arise. The goal is to prolong the lifespan of these items and preserve their integrity for future generations without needing extensive restoration.
