Preventive Conservation for Historic House Museums is a primer on
the preventive care practices that these unique sites need to slow
the rate of deterioration and prevent damage and wear to the
property and its collections. It proposes a collaborative approach
to preservation planning that is based on interdisciplinary
research, critical thinking, and observation rather than rote
maintenance schedules and everyday residential cleaning practices.
The authors recommend that sites have documents and plans in place
that direct the intellectual and physical control of the
collections and site. The intellectual controls include
administrative and management policies and procedures; the physical
controls include security and safety precautions, routine
maintenance and cleaning practices among others. Historic house
administrators, staff, board members, and volunteers will find this
volume indispensable. Professionals who deal with historic sites
from the museum administrator or curator, to architect, to
engineer, as well as students pursuing studies in the field of
preservation and conservation will also find this a valuable
reference. This volume promotes a pro-active approach to
preservation planning for historic sites and their collections.
