Goal

There is a need for pragmatic approaches to collection preservation. Collection Environment Field Activities is examining real-life situations in the field to investigate environmental strategies for collections that support access and preservation in an economic and environmentally responsible way.

By exploring actual situations, scenarios for decision making in which collection and building requirements are balanced with institutional mission, values, and operations can be used as examples for the conservation field.
