Opis

This text is divided into two parts. The first section is intended for conservators and museum curators, and describes the principles and techniques of controlling the environment so that the potentially damaging effects of light, humidity and air pollution on museum exhibits may be minimized. The second part brings together and summarizes information and data which is essential to workers in conservation research.
