The Museum Environment is in two parts; Part I: intended for
conservators and museum curators and describes the principles and
techniques of controlling the environment so that the potentially
damaging effects of light, humidity and air pollution on museum
exhibits may be minimised. Part II: the author brings together and
summarises information and data, hitherto widely scattered in the
literature of diverse fields, which is essential to workers in
conservation research.
Since the timely publication of the first two editions of this book
in hardback, interest in preventive conservation has continued to
grow strongly making publication of this paperback edition all the
more welcome. Those whose responsibility it is to care for the
valuable and beautiful objects in the world's collections have
become increasingly aware that it is better to prevent their
deterioration, by ensuring that they are housed and displayed in
the best possible environmental conditions, than to wait until
restoration and repair are necessary. The changes for the second
edition have been mainly concentrated in the sections on electronic
hygrometry, new fluorescent lamps, buffered cases, air conditioning
systems, data logging, and control within historic buildings. A new
appendix, giving a summary of museum specificiations for
conservation, provides a useful, quick reference.
* New paperback edition of successful text
