Abstract
The author surveys the effects of uncontrolled humidity, temperature and pollution levels on various materials in museums, and discusses a safe atmosphere for art objects. Psychrometers which may be handily used to measure relative humidity throughout a museum are available at various prices and should be used to help establish humidity control. (See also AATA 6-A5-46).
