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.
