Survey on display cases--addendum

From: James Bruce Crawford <jamesbcrawford76<-at->

Results dissemination for "Survey on display cases"

The first results of the University of Warwick's Display Case User
Survey are available via the new specialist discussion group
"Exhibit Enclosure Environments" on LinkedIn:

    <URL:https://www.linkedin.com/grp/home?gid=8331052>

These results are from the 15-minute presentation made in person at
the 1st Science and Engineering in Arts, Heritage and Archaeology
(SEAHA) Conference, University College London, 14-15 July 2015.
Sincere thanks to all who disseminated the survey and its 94
respondents who contributed to this unique snapshot of recent
behaviours and needs of enclosure users around the world.

May the survey findings be informative and useful for those
endeavouring with specifying, building, testing and maintaining
exhibit enclosure environments for conserving tangible heritage
collections.  They might be considered a starting point from which
users and manufacturers of display cases and glazed frames can
improve the conservation efficiency of enclosed environments for
exhibits.

Comments and queries on the survey findings are especially welcome
through the specialist discussion group, "Exhibit Enclosure
Environments" where there is a 100+ membership of users and
manufacturers of display cases and frames.

An extended summary and discussion of the survey results will follow
in an article to be published in an open-source heritage journal.
