Workshop on museum microclimates

Preservation Microclimate Workshop
Sponsored by the North Carolina Preservation Consortium
Greenville, North Carolina
Saturday, April 24, 2010

The environment surrounding an object is critical to its
preservation  A microclimate assists in controlling the humidity,
temperature, and pollution levels for objects on display or in
storage.  Participants of this workshop will learn how the
environment affects various material types, methods for measuring
the environment (including new technologies), and strategies for
improving environmental conditions.  A theoretical background in
creating microclimates will be examined in depth followed by a
hands-on practical session.   Participants will be encouraged to
discuss their institutional challenges and share their experience
with environmental issues.  This workshop is beneficial for all
personnel in museums, libraries, archives, and historic sites.
Faculty and students in public history, library science, museum
studies, conservation and other collection disciplines are also
welcome.
