Subject: Survey on environmental control
I am an MA Preventive Conservation student at Northumbria University, UK. Earlier this year, I undertook a work placement at the Wiltshire and Swindon History Centre where I looked into the possibility of shutting down the air-conditioning in order to save energy, but still maintain safe conditions for the collections. My research included a short survey, which some of the DistList members responded to and I am very grateful for those contributions. I am now developing this topic further for my dissertation, by investigating the impact that a relaxation of environmental standards would have on archives and museum collections around the world. A key part of my research is looking at the current environmental standards used by museums and archives, and seeing how their environmental conditions are achieved, and I am hoping that you may be able to help with my research. I have created a survey, which should take around 5 minutes to complete, and I would be very grateful to hear from staff at museums and archives around the world. The survey is available at: <URL:https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1A-c_GanAMrCscBf7gIb1oSJlWU7_NSWQKN-yyxjEfyI/viewform?usp=send_form> Please complete the survey by 26 June 2015.
