Abstract
This paper is concerned with the dimensional stability of the hygroscopic materials in a painting during transit and loan. It emphasizes the need to consider moisture content rather than relative humidity in the design of packing systems, and to ensure that equilibrium moisture content remains constant. -- AATA
