What is environmental monitoring? Why do we do it? What types of tools are useful for monitoring temperature, relative humidity, light and pest activity?
Using case studies from conservators on Conserv's staff, Allison Lewis will discuss these questions, and give a brief introduction to Conserv's wireless data loggers and free environmental monitoring/pest management software designed specifically for cultural heritage collections.
