2 PagesOne of the most important ways that museums care for their collections is through preventive conservation. Fundamental to this approach is storing collections in the right environment to minimise deterioration, so it is essential that the CRT monitors temperature and relative humidity in the areas where the collections are housed. The Trust is using Tinytag Ultra Radio data loggers to record this information. The Ultra Radio loggers build up a picture of what is happening in the stores and galleries, to help assess the need for environmental control measures. In general, museums aim for RH between 40% - 65% and temperature between 10 - 21°C.
