Description
This seminar is the third in a series of 3 stand-alone presentations by David Sunders on Aspects of the museum environment: past and futureAs cultural heritage organisations face the challenges of ensuring future sustainability while preserving and displaying collections, this series of seminars presents 360 degree perspectives on the development of policy and practice in three areas of preventive conservation: lighting; pollutants; and climate. Each seminar traces the history and development of best practice and guidelines in the protection of collections from these agents of deterioration and looks at how these have been modified over the past decades to balance access and preservation, before exploring how considerations of sustainability and climate action are changing current and future assumptions and practice.
Topics covered include: historic approaches to climate control; damage caused by inappropriate conditions; the development of environmental guidelines; classification of susceptibility; reassessment of tight control; climatology and sustainability; materials-based studies; future directions in climatology.
