2 PagesUniversity College London (UCL) hasthree public museums. They use Tinytag temperature and relative humidity data loggers as a key part of the environmental monitoring programme, which aims to evaluate the quality of display and storage facilities holding the collections. This information is used to advise collections managers, curators and Estates and Facilities staff about conditions in these areas so that improvements can be made as needed. Long term monitoring of the collections spaces also follows required museum best practice guidelines, for example, for the UK national accreditation scheme.
