Fundamental questions that arise when setting up and operating a depot or storage facility for cultural goods are at the center of this clearly structured manual. Part 1 addresses location selection, climate, lighting, pest issues, storage techniques, tools, and materials used. Part 2 is divided into general chapters on handling, labeling, storage, transportation, and maintenance cleaning of objects, as well as on workplace and cultural property protection. Part 3 provides detailed guidance on dealing with specific groups of objects. An appendix offers additional internet and literature references, as well as a detailed index.
