They have the res

23、ponsibility of preserving, presenting and developing spaces dedicated to the public or reserved for collections. Stored collections have often remained inaccessible to the public but increasingly there is an expectation that collections should be accessible even when not on display, either for the g

24、eneral viewing public or for controlled research and collection management activities. To meet this demand, dedicated facilities are being developed to allow access and research. These “Open Storage Facilities“ or “Collection Centres“ place new demands on cultural heritage institutions and this guid

25、ance document is intended to assist institutions by describing common best practice in the design and function of such facilities. Open Storage Facilities have four main purposes: to fulfil the requirements of conservation; to facilitate access to the collections; to allow for the management of coll

26、ections; to provide a secure place for the safekeeping of collections. This standard may be used for designing new open storage facilities or for the improvement of existing storage facilities. The concept of open storage facilities is general. It relates to places gathering the functions defined in

27、 this standard belonging to any type of institutions (archives, libraries, archaeological deposits, museums,) dedicated to the safekeeping of any type of collection (archives, books, archaeological items, etc) Copyright European Committee for Standardization Provided by IHS under license with CENNot

It lists the consideratio

35、he necessary conditions required for preservation, safety and security and public access 4 Open storage facilities 4.1 General organisation Open storage facilities are part of the general organisation of a cultural heritage institution. Such premises constitute a set of areas isolated from each othe

36、r but interdependent and organised according to use. Open storage facilities have four principal functions: a) permanent and temporary storage of objects; b) collection management: study of the collections, display, consultation, and scientific examination; some of these functions require areas dedi

37、cated to public access; c) collection services: movement, packing/unpacking, workshops, and sometimes treatment of the collection; d) facilities management (e.g. security system, alarm control unit, and plant room). The purpose is to offer the best conditions of collections conservation and manageme

38、nt. However, all functions of an open storage facility do not necessarily require their own specific area. 4.2 Storage A clear and rational organisation of the collections is important as well as policies and procedures for managing operations. A balance should be maintained between security of coll

39、ections and access. Collections are arranged in spaces which are exclusively devoted to them. These areas constitute the central and vital core of the open storage facilities. Safety and security, climate control, fire prevention and other preventive measures require attention. Storage areas should

40、be protected from risks of natural disasters. They should be kept dark, except when lighting is required for access. They should be equipped with fire detectors, sensors reacting to dampness and pest monitors. The distribution of the collections in storage areas should follow these principles: stabl

41、e environmental conditions adapted to the requirements of the various collections; the placement of storage units such as shelves, cabinets, etc., should be appropriate to the collections, ensuring easy and effective access to objects and secure handling of artefacts. Storage furniture should be des

42、igned according to the characteristics and conservation requirements of the collections and the activities of the institution. It should be designed to allow easy maintenance of the area and facilitate the movement of people and collections without risk. The furniture arrangement should facilitate c

43、leaning of the floor. Storage areas and furniture should be able to adapt to the growth of the collections without risks to safety and security.

These functions should be carried out in protected spaces and with preservation conditions appropriate to t

45、he collections and similar to those in the storage areas. If collections require particular conservation conditions (e.g. cold storage), the relevant acclimatisation measures should be applied. 4.3.2 Documentation The documentation process includes e.g. identification, description, location, measure

46、ment, data entry, labelling of objects. This work should take place in an area close to the storage area and allow the handling and temporary movement of the objects to be inventoried. During the documentation process, no other activity should be carried out in the vicinity of the objects. 4.3.3 Pho

47、tography Photography, which may be for documentation, exhibition, scholarly, promotional or conservation purposes, must be carried out in a designated area, if possible, facilitating and limiting the movement of people and objects. Objects to be photographed shall be kept in the area during the shoo

48、ting process only. 4.3.4 Study room In the study room, objects are made available for study and research. This area is close to the storage areas and allows the safe examination and easy handling of the objects, as well as access to documentation, such as files, data base and internet connections. It contains only the objects for consultation. In archives, documents under consultation on several days are stored in a specific place. 4.3.5 Display If the storage facilities are connected to public exhibition areas, handling, packing, moving and conditioning
