Regular monitoring of collections is an integral part of responsible caretaking in any museum. Periodic evaluation of storage areas allows potential problems to be identified and corrected before major damage is done to valuable collections. As a result of monitoring performed during the 1992 study season at Harappa, Pakistan, conservators were able to devise improvements in storage design and treatments to ensure the continued preservation of Indus Civilization ceramics material excavated from this important ancient site. The survey, treatment and rehousing of 226 accessioned ceramics from the reserve collection of the Harappa Museum took place during April, 1992. The impetus for the project was the preparation for photography and publication of ceramics from Harappan burial contexts. Most of these had previously received some conservation attention, typically desalination and reconstruction. However, it was found that some of the joints has failed. This observation prompted a general survey of the ceramics collection, followed by treatment of unstable vessels and improvements in housing.
