ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT:  STEWARDSHIP & SUSTAINABILITY 
Presented by the  Conservation Center for Art & Historic Artifacts 

Portland, OR – May 22, 2012  

Cosponsored and hosted by 
Portland Art Museum  


ABOUT  THE PROGRAM 

Creating stable environmental conditions  is the most significant step an 
institution can take for the long-term  preservation of the collections 
materials under its stewardship. While most  preservation actions affect single 
items or groups of items, environmental  conditions affect entire 
collections. 

Though providing stable  environmental conditions is a goal for most 
archives, museums, and libraries,  in actuality it can be very difficult to 
achieve ideal specifications. In  addition to economic limitations faced by many 
institutions, collections are  often housed in historic structures, in 
buildings with aging systems, or in  structures whose designs make environmental 
management difficult. 

This  one day program will explore new approaches to controlling 
environmental  conditions in cultural institutions. Leading experts in the field will 
present  physically and financially feasible environmental control 
strategies to help  institutions preserve collections materials for the long-term.  

Topics covered will include: 

• The  Collections Environment 
• Understanding the Building/Climate Relationship  
• New Approaches and Best Practices for Environmental Control 
•  Environmental Monitoring and Data Analysis 

This program is intended  for staff of cultural heritage organizations 
responsible for monitoring and  managing environmental conditions for 
collections, including registrars,  facilities managers, archivists, librarians, 
curators, collections managers,  and stewards of historic house museums.
