You should see
"Industrial Collections: care and conservation"
Edited by Dollery and Henderson available from UKIC
<URL:http://www.ukic.org.uk/>

I wrote a paper in it entitled 'Identifying Factors Causing Damage
to Welsh Coal Mining Collections' which is a review of what the very
basic preventive conservation measures should be.  I think that you
should also look at MGC publications on Industrial collections. Good
luck,
