storage and preservation

Storage and preservation refer to methods used to keep items safe and maintained over time. Storage involves finding suitable places to keep objects, documents, or information so they remain organized and accessible. Preservation focuses on protecting these items from damage, degradation, or loss due to factors like moisture, light, or temperature changes. Together, they ensure that important materials—like books, artifacts, and digital data—are not just kept, but also remain in a condition that allows them to be used or appreciated in the future. Effective storage and preservation practices are vital for heritage, culture, and knowledge retention.
