Abstract

The purpose of the project consists in the preparation of the methodic for long
term optimal maintenance of movable cultural heritage objects (further on
"objects") in the depositories of collection institutions (museums, galleries)
and monuments. Based on the application and evaluation of the current knowledge
and experience related to the process of preparation,
projection and building
of depositories and to maintenance of objects in the historical monuments there
will be proposed an optimal structure of partial steps, that will lead to
improved efficiency of the overall protection of objects including the time and
economical requirements. It is intended to form a logical pattern where all
aspects related to the nature of buildings, specification of the inner
environment, potential risks and methods of manipulation and use of objects will
be considered. The mentioned set of issues will be solved in a complex manner
both for the cases of building of new depositories ("greenfield project") and for
modifications and reconstructions of existing spaces indicated to this purpose
and also of
current spaces or subjected to the régime of cultural heritage.
The attention will be focused on areas that were not systematically treated in
the Czech Republic yet. For example the application of technologies of object
identification (RFID - radio frequency identification device) and monitoring of
harmful influences in the environment where the objects are kept.

These
will be practically tested, adapted within the project. The output of the project
will consist in a methodic that will provide a practical guidance for simple and
also more complex and technologically requiring measures which will improve the
quality of maintenance of objects and increase the overall standard of their
protection. The methodic will be completed with partial manuals defining the
procedures (e.g. evaluation of the  icroclimate, risk analysis etc.) that will
also serve as a teaching material for education.
