Past Projects

Managing Collection Environments is a multiyear initiative that addresses a number of compelling research questions and practical issues pertaining to the control and management of collection environments in museums. The initiative combines scientific research with fieldwork, investigating the response of hygroscopic materials to climatic fluctuations and the monitoring of objects in situ. Educational activities ranging from short courses to expert meetings and information dissemination, through print and electronic publications, support and extend the research activities. Throughout all phases of the project, the GCI will work in coordination and cooperation with international entities actively engaged in this area. Read More
