With the emergence in the 20th century of long-range methods of destruction, museums and galleries have had to develop appropriate measures to protect their collections. The British Museum first took such measures on site in 1914 and followed this by evacuating some of its most valuable objects in 1918. Similar procedures were followed in the Second World War and, despite major damage to the building, no significant items (apart from books) were lost.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
