With regard to museum collections prevention is the most important aspect of preservation. The goal of curators and conservators should be planning against and slowing down the deterioration of objects in their keeping. With this in mind Shelley Reisman Paine, a conservator at the Tennessee State Museum, delivers a detailed illustrated lecture from the point of view of the component molecules of art objects and the chemical and physical systems which produce the stresses that affect them. Ms. Paine focuses on environmental factors that can be controlled, such as light, moisture, dust, temperature and relative humidity. She also discusses problems of storage and display materials and the importance of controlling pests and insects.
