I think 68 to 72 degrees as ideal storage
temperature was chosen more for the comfort of people who work with them than
for the safety of the textile. Lower temperature is better. Lizou Fenyvesi Senior Textile Conservator US Holocaust Memorial Museum From: Textile
Conservators [mailto:TEXCONS@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Diana Zlatanovski Hello I manage a collection of textiles. The HVAC system in
our storage areas is programmed to keep the temperature between 60 and 65
degrees. Often, it is on the low end of that. I've always been
taught that between 68 and 72 degrees is, in general, the ideal temperature for
collections storage. Can anyone tell me if the lower range is for any
reason more appropriate for textiles? Or if it is detrimental to them? Thanks, Diana ******************* Diana Zlatanovski Assistant Curator Helen Louise Allen Textile Collection (608) 262-1162 zlatanovski@xxxxxxxx |
