And sometimes they are dreadful. This is particularly true for humidity-sensitive collections such as archaeological metals. It is often impossible to reach ideal conditions due to lack of funding or to limitations of the physical building. We strive to reach a balance between these issues to achieve the best possible environment for all collections, including these sensitive collections, while living within budgets and building requirements.<\/p>\n<p>Practical solutions for these challenges must be sought. They must be within budget and be easily maintained. This article explores the development of microclimate containers for humidity-sensitive collections. This series of solutions was developed at the Science Museum of Minnesota over a 15-year period, each solution building on the strengths of the previous. It is hoped that the reader will adapt these ideas to their own situations.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/resources.culturalheritage.org\/osg-postprints\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2015\/02\/osg016-01.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Download full article<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"http:\/\/resources.culturalheritage.org\/osg-postprints\/postprints\/v16\/\">2009 | Los Angeles | Volume 16<\/a><\/h6>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gretchen Anderson Abstract We all know that environmental conditions for collections, either in storage or exhibition, are rarely ideal.
