The workshop will supply the technical background to develop support
and documentation for improving environmental conditions for
long-term preservation of cultural collections.  The workshop will
present the rationale, techniques, and equipment used to monitor the
critical environmental conditions for cultural collections.  Ways to
develop realistic methods to monitor humidity, temperature,
lighting, particulates, and gaseous contamination will be discussed,
including analysis and interpretation of hygrothermograph data.
Various types of monitoring equipment will be demonstrated, and a
useful packet of supportive information will be provided.
