The document provides recommendations for preventing damage, such as using proper storage, controlling the environment, increasing security, and creating a disaster plan. It emphasizes that conservation aims to keep materials in their original format as long as possible through remedial treatments, collection treatments, and stabilization methods that do not further damage items
Preservation needs assessment by Tamara Lavrencic. Presented at the 2017 Community Heritage Grants (CHG) Preservation and Collection Management Training Workshops
This document discusses the key agents of deterioration that pose risks to collections, including physical forces, thieves and vandals, dissociation, fire, water, pests, pollutants, light and UV, incorrect temperature, and incorrect relative humidity. It emphasizes understanding these risks and taking steps to minimize their effects through proper storage, security, documentation, environmental monitoring and control, and a risk management approach. Risk management provides a systematic framework to assess vulnerabilities, identify hazards, treat risks proportionately, and evaluate risk mitigation efforts.
Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is a proactive approach to pest control that focuses on prevention and monitoring over chemical use. The key principles of IPM involve monitoring for pests, modifying the environment to discourage them, and using targeted treatments. IPM seeks to address the factors that can lead to pest problems like food sources, suitable temperatures and humidity levels, and harborage areas, through holistic prevention and maintenance measures rather than reactive crisis responses. The main goals are to avoid and prevent pest issues from arising by denying pests access to these necessary conditions.

This document discusses the process for conducting a preservation needs assessment for a collection. It covers choosing a qualified conservator to perform the assessment, what information to provide them, the factors they will examine like building conditions and storage methods, and the end goal of developing a prioritized preservation plan and report. The assessment evaluates preservation policies, identifies specific risks and needs, and recommends actions to develop a long-term strategy for caring for the collection.
This document discusses preservation and conservation of library materials. Preservation aims to maintain materials in their original condition by preventing decay, while conservation treats physically damaged materials to extend their lifespan. Key threats include improper handling, lack of environmental control of temperature and humidity, lighting, pollution, pests and security issues. Proper storage conditions, pest control and security systems can help prevent damage. A disaster plan should assess risks, form response teams, prioritize materials, and maintain supplies. Conservation focuses on keeping materials in their original format through repairs, collections treatments, and prudent management practices. The goal is long-term accessibility, not cosmetic changes.
Preservation aims to extend the life of collections and includes activities like preventive care and reversible treatments. It encompasses efforts to preserve physical materials and born-digital content. The objectives of preservation are to identify materials needing treatment, evaluate and prioritize them, and apply effective and nondestructive repairs and stabilization methods. Preservation helps protect cultural heritage by maintaining access to information for future generations.
This document discusses guidelines and considerations for bulk disposal of museum collections. It addresses what constitutes a bulk collection, procedures for bulk disposal, and challenges that can arise. Key points include:
- Bulk collections typically consist of large quantities of similar objects that are of low quality and found in other collections. They may require simpler disposal procedures than significant objects.
- When disposing of bulk collections, it is important to document ownership status, consult experts, and consider alternatives to destruction like transferring objects to other institutions.
- Challenges of bulk disposal can include the time needed to study collections, costs, lack of documentation, and procedures requiring information that is unavailable for some collections. Simpler processes may be needed for
This document outlines principles for preserving library materials and developing a preservation policy. It discusses threats to materials like natural deterioration, environmental conditions, and handling practices. A preservation assessment should identify risks, evaluate the physical state of materials and facilities, and be done in consultation with all library departments. The goals are to understand preservation needs, prioritize major threats, and make recommendations to care for collections given available resources. Surveys of buildings, disaster plans, environments, and collections can provide needed information to create a preservation policy.

Causes Supporting Charity for Elderly PeopleSERUDS INDIA
Around 52% of the elder populations in India are living in poverty and poor health problems. In this technological world, they became very backward without having any knowledge about technology. So they’re dependent on working hard for their daily earnings, they’re physically very weak. Thus charity organizations are made to help and raise them and also to give them hope to live.

2. INTRODUCTION
• Collecting ethnographic specimens is essential
in the documentation of human cultures.
• An extensive research can be done based on
the collections with its relevant accompanying
information intact as human technology
develops through time.
• An ethnographic collection may be built or
augmented in a number of ways:
Field collection
Donation / Gift / Bequest
Purchase
3. • The collection should be carefully managed for
their physical well being and safety.
• Collection management refers to the museum
practices and procedures which allow the
prudent
acquisition, documentation, preservation, secu
rity, access and use, inventory, and the
management of the overall composition of the
collection.
5. REGISTRATION
• The specimen must be registered upon
acquisition.
• The accession number together with the
basic information about the specimen
should be logged in to the accession record
or registry.
• It should be noted that the acquired
specimens are in good condition and/or
had undergone proper treatment.
6. ACCESSIONING
• Assign accession number to each item
E – Ifu – 0001
E – Ethnographic item
Ifu – code for the ethnolinguistic group
0001 – assigned number for the item
The assigned accession number must
be written legibly and permanently on
the discreet part of the object where
it is not likely to be rubbed off and
where it is not too obvious especially
when displayed.
7. The accession number should be placed in an area
that does not impact diagnostic or aesthetic parts of the
object.
Steps in labeling / accessioning:
• clean the area to be labeled
• place a thin coat of liquid eraser on
the labeling area
• let it dry, then write the number using
India ink or sign pen
• let the ink dry completely before
applying a top coat of natural nail
polish
8. Every item should be labeled in the most
permanent method applicable to its
material composition. However, some
objects cannot be labeled directly; they
may too small or have unstable surfaces.
However, some objects cannot be labeled
directly; they may too small or have
unstable surfaces.
9. CATALOGUING
Cataloguing is the process of recording all
basic information about an object.
The key purposes of cataloguing are
• to record information that is useful for
identification;
• organizing the entire collections; and
• providing information to researchers and
staff who wants to use them.
11. Back page of Anthropology Division catalogue card
12. PHOTO-DOCUMENTATION
Each object should be photographed if
possible upon acquisition.
The specimen to be photographed should
include its accession number/ catalogue
number and a scale to determine the size
of the object.
0 5 10 cm.
13. If the condition of the object is not
normal, damaged parts should be clear
or visible in the photograph.
A standard camera can be used but a
digital camera is preferable for easy
uploading of images to the database.
15. MASTER LIST
The master list records all basic information about
the collection, e.g., catalogue number, name of
object, description price, location, etc.
The master list can be updated anytime especially
when the inventory of the collections is ongoing.
A hard copy of the master list should be produced
and CD-written backups should also be made.
16. COMPUTER DATABASE
The database stores and displays various information
of the entire collection.
It should be protected with a password for security
reasons before anyone starts data encoding.
The data to be encoded may be the same data found
in the catalogue card.
There are different program applications for
database, choose which application suits best the
type of your collections.
17.
18. INVENTORY
Inventory is an important aspect of good
collections management.
It is useful for updating location
information of specimens, identifying
conservation needs, and helping
researchers access particular items.
The object should be cross-indexed to the
existing inventory master list and individual
catalogue card.
19. The object should be cross-indexed to the existing
inventory master list and individual catalogue card.
The following should be considered while cross-indexing:
• Corrections on the accession
number, measurements, and other significant data
should be recorded.
• Description of specimen found in the catalogue card
should be verified.
• Questionable specimens should be noted on the list.
• The location of specimen should be also noted on the
list and card for easy retrieval.
20. CONSERVATION
Conservation refers to the measures taken
to prolong the life of an object and its
physical, historic, and cultural significance or
value as long as possible in its original form.
One of the best approaches to conservation
is prevention. It may take less time, less
money, and less effort to slowdown or
prevent deterioration than it takes to repair
/ replace the material after they have
deteriorated.
21. Prevention involves proper housing, storage, handling, and
constant monitoring and control of both physical and the
collection themselves.
In the monitoring process, condition report is an essential
element.
Condition reports may be used to:
• establish the exact condition of an object;
• benchmark the type and/or rate of deterioration;
• document the condition history and treatment;
• set priorities for conservation care and treatment; and
• make future handlers aware of seen and unseen problems.
22. A condition report should include:
• Accession number
• Name of object
• Object composition
• Types of damage (physical, chemical, etc.)
• Extent of damage
• Location of damage
• Previous conservation work
• Dates and reasons for damage (if known)
23. STORAGE SYSTEM
Storage is an area where the ethnographic
collections are placed.
The collection must be classified in this area
and grouped according to type of items
(jewelry, textile, ceramics, basketry, etc.) or
by material composition (wood, metal, etc.)
The overall storage environment is one of
the most important variables in the
long-term preservation and conservation of
the collection.

25. Policies and procedures such as detailed risk
management plan should be in place to
address controlling and minimizing these
risks.
Their negative effects to the collection can
also be minimized through proper
training, decreasing handling of
objects, controlling access, maintaining
good housekeeping procedures.
26. Rules and regulations to be strictly observed within the
premises of the storage area:
1. Only authorized personnel should be
allowed to enter the storage room.
2. A logbook should be maintained to
record the incoming and outgoing of
staff, including the tasks performed
inside, and the items he/she brought
in and out of the storage.
27. 3. Items should be arranged systematically for easy
retrieval.
4. Researchers who wish to
see, photograph, and/or study the collection
must secure permit from the curator.
5. Researchers should be briefed on the proper
handling of specimens before entering the
storage area.
6. Food and drinks are not allowed inside.
7. Smoking is strictly prohibited.
