Preserving History with Dehumidification for Museums and Archive Rooms   Protecting our cultural heritage requires meticulous attention to detail, especially when it comes to maintaining the ideal environment for priceless artifacts and historical documents. Museums and archive rooms serve as the guardians of our past, housing treasures that connect us to our shared history.   Dehumidification technology plays a crucial role in this preservation effort. By controlling humidity levels, dehumidifiers help prevent moisture-related damage such as mold growth, decay, and deterioration. Whether it's delicate artworks in a museum or centuries-old manuscripts in an archive room, these devices ensure that our cultural heritage remains intact for future generations to cherish.   Join us in exploring the significance of dehumidification solutions for museums and archive rooms and discover how these innovations are safeguarding our most precious treasures.    #Preservation #Dehumidification #CulturalHeritage #MuseumArchives #BryAirIndonesia

We have been crunching the numbers on the industrial heritage survey that we have been doing for Historic England and The Ironbridge Gorge Museum Trust. Some headlines from our work so far… - 48% of sites are owned by a preservation trust or society; 25% are in local authority ownership - 45% of sites are accredited museums - On average each site spent £192,163 on repairs and maintenance over the last three years - 53% of sites had found it ‘quite difficult’ to secure public sector funding in the last three years; only 40% had sought sought private sector support - The majority of volunteers are over 65 years old; 74% of sites said they found it ‘fairly difficult’ or ‘very difficult’ to attract new volunteers, and especially young volunteers - Over 40 million people visited independent designated industrial heritage sites during the last three years, the majority of whom were non-specialist family audiences Still lots more to unravel — but a mixed picture, with lots of scope for future development. The full report will be out later in the summer, and we will do a more comprehensive update in the next few weeks.

Why are sporting heritage collections important? ⁠ ⁠ Collections matter to people. ⁠ ⁠ The millions of objects held in museums across the UK can be sources of knowledge, pride, inspiration, controversy and opportunity for audiences, communities and researchers.⁠ ⁠ Be consistent⁠ ⁠ Whichever approach you decide upon, the key to good collection management and care is consistency. ⁠ ⁠ Develop your procedures, write them down and stick to them. ⁠ ⁠ This will make it easier to involve more people in your work, to meet the ascribed standards for collections and make it easier for people in the future to understand how your collection has developed and been cared for.⁠ ⁠ Discover more via our Sporting Heritage Toolkit: https://bit.ly/3sIFbAC ⁠ ⁠ #Archives #museumarchives #SportingHeritage24

In today's world, both evil and good are quickly learned. Unfortunately, authoritarian leaders and regimes that are in line to imitate each other and do everything for power are making decisions that are damaging to nature, affecting society and deepening violence. Many of these examples are acting in this way now, but they do not think about the consequences, how many generations will be affected, what the costs will be. This is why today's leaders, the intellectuals who support them or the lovers of violence will not be remembered well in the history of humanity and nature for their political behavior. All living and non-living beings - such as our cultural heritage - feel peace at the same time. This process takes knowledge, science, art and learning to build Peace Architecture.. ☮️🌱 Photo Ref/ Museen der museen, John Cage Selection @ Wallraf-Richartz Museum
