The deterioration of historical artifacts and works of art will be minimized through the use of proper preservation and conservation practices according to prescribed museum standards.
Conservation encompasses actions taken that preserve or prolong the life of museum objects.
Preservation or preventive conservation is actions taken that prevent further deterioration by stabilizing the environment and controlling the causes of deterioration. The environment in which artifacts are maintained should be free from repeated daily and seasonal fluctuations of the exterior weather conditions. Temperature and humidity will be monitored and recorded daily. Filters will be used to control U-V radiation. The environment will also be free from plants and other pest attracting agents.
