Providing a safe environment for collections is one of the key tenets of preservation. This is because temperature and moisture have a direct impact on the condition of collections. Cultural institutions are often advised to collect temperature and relative humidity data to monitor the environment. The collection phase of this process is easy. Managing the data and understanding what it is telling you about your spaces is more difficult. This webinar focuses on de-mystifying the process of environmental data collection and analysis. Topics covered include good, better, and best practices for setpoints, analysis software, and communicating findings with stakeholders.
