CONSERVATION PROCESS

Collection care

An integral part of the curation of such a large and dispersed group of material is the day-to-day care of the collection. This ranges from maintaining an accurate inventory of the whereabouts of the collection to monitoring the environment to ensure the collection is preserved in the optimum conditions.
