Metodika uchovávání sbírkových předmětů kulturní povahy

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.
