Talk:Cultural property storage

Hi Jaimi! I originally started out my wiki thinking I was going to do temperature and relative humidity, like you did, but I ended up expanding on mine. I think that you did a great job coming up with a concise description of temperature and humidity and the standard practices for them. One suggestion would be to include examples of ways to monitor temperature and humidity, such as data loggers. Ash gray04 (talk) 13:58, 11 October 2015 (UTC)

Your article is well-written, comprehensive, neutral, and particularly well-researched with nine relatable sources. The lead section summarizes the topic and prepares the reader for the detail in the subsequent sections— the structure of the article is appropriate, and the citations are consistent. Although there is no media in the article, the length stays focused on the main topic without going into unnecessary detail and uses a summary style.

In addition, the article defines a collection role within all cultural institutions, which makes it a relevant topic. Climate control is one collection role that differs with the type of collection, but climate control does not change with the size of the museum or administration of the museum. You mentioned you were a newbie, but you could not tell by the quality of the article, great job! § Public History in DC (talk) 00:00, 13 October 2015 (UTC)

Great work! Your article will be so useful, as your outline is comprehensive and covers all information that should be noted in an article on the storage of cultural heritage objects. It looks like you will be using some great, reputable resources to help you write your article. One suggestion, you might have already thought of this, but I wonder if you could note the types of objects that are usually associated with each of the storage furniture and housing material types that you mention, this link might help with this: http://www.nps.gov/museum/publications/conserveogram/04-10.pdf I also found a few open storage related articles that you may or may not find useful, it looks like many museums are making an effort to provide greater accessibility to their stored collections: https://www.brooklynmuseum.org/exhibitions/luce/ ; http://www.nytimes.com/2001/05/08/arts/museums-as-walk-in-closets-visible-storage-opens-troves-to-the-public.html ; http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/arts/culture/la-et-cm-lacma-broad-museum-storage-20130721-story.html ; https://collectionsconversations.wordpress.com/2012/05/18/visible-storage/ ; http://museumethics.org/2009/09/open-storage/ There is also a Visible storage Wikipedia page that you could link your article to if you wish.

Hi Jaimi! This article would be so helpful, it's not even finished yet and I already want to use it! I think that your outline flows perfectly from one topic to the next. You seem to hit upon every important aspect of the storage of cultural heritage objects. I hope that you are able to cite some good examples (pictures would be fantastic if you could find some fitting ones). Although open storage would definitely be an interesting aspect of this article, I don't know if it is necessary to get your main point across. I wouldn't stress too much over that, but a brief mention might still be beneficial. Ash gray04 (talk) 16:45, 17 November 2015 (UTC)

Jaimi- It's amazing that no one previously has created a page addressing the proper storage of cultural heritage objects, great topic! You have a great foundation for your article. My only suggestion would be to search in wikipedia for similar topics and create a see also section. Might save you some time, and also provide you with some resources for your page.
