“…Gel silika merupakan materi kimia yang umumnya berbentuk kristal yang tersusun dari silikon dan oksigen, sedangkan bentonit memiliki tekstur seperti tanah liat kering. Keduanya digunakan sebagai pengontrol kelembapan relatif karena kemampuannya untuk menyerap uap air (Knell, 2005;Weintraub, 2002).…”

Kelembapan relatif (relative humidity [RH]) merupakan salah satu penyebab penurunan mutu (deteriorasi) koleksi di museum. RH dapat dikendalikan secara aktif menggunakan sistem tata udara (HVAC) atau secara pasif menggunakan desikan. Kajian ini menunjukkan bagaimana efektivitas desikan-desikan yang digunakan di Museum Nasional: gel silika biru lokal (baru dan rekondisi), gel silika oranye dengan pelembap, dan bentonit (Desi Pak®). Kajian dilakukan di ruang pamer lantai 3 Gedung B Museum Nasional untuk melihat kemampuan desikan dalam mengendalikan RH di dalam vitrin. Aspek-aspek, seperti kandungan bahan kimia, harga, dan kemampuan untuk penggunaan ulang menjadi beberapa faktor yang dikaji berdasarkan studi literatur dan lapangan. Kajian ini menunjukkan bahwa setiap jenis desikan efektif mengendalikan RH dalam vitrin dengan catatan jumlah yang digunakan harus dihitung sesuai kondisi lingkungan berdasarkan rumus yang dikembangkan oleh Weintraub (2002).

“…Creating a conservation environment is one of the first and most effective means in caring for objects by addressing identified agents of deterioration (Getty Conservation Institute 2000; Meister 2019; Rose and Hawks 2002). Mitigating against agents of deterioration 6 starts in field labs and is as important as it is in museums or repositories.…”

Care of archaeological materials should begin when recovered in the field. Care and stabilization of objects in the field will greatly increase their research and exhibit potential. Identifying problems and understanding basic solutions to object care and stabilization is an important part of training for all potential object handlers. Proper care and stabilization of objects can and should be a priority for all object users—excavators, lab analysts, museum staff, and researchers. Constant dialogue and communication between repository specialists and archaeologists can be the most useful source for care of all archaeological objects.

“…One area of self-improvement that has received considerable attention in heritage sector literature is the field of 'collections management' (Knell 1994;Fahy 1995;Lord and Dexter Lord 1997). It is defined in ICOM's Running a Museum: A Practical Handbook as 'the term applied to the various legal, ethical, technical, and practical methods by which museum collections are assembled, organized, researched, interpreted, and preserved' (Ladkin 2004, 17).…”

DUPLICATE DO NOT PUBLISH - Private Tastes and Public Desires: Exploring the Perspectives and Practices of Private Collectors who Share their Collections Publicly

<p>Private collectors who share their collections publicly provide a valuable service to the public. They collect and provide access to cultural heritage materials just as public institutions such as museums and galleries within the heritage sector do. While there is a wealth of literature that discusses the significance of publicly funded heritage institutions to the heritage sector there is an absence of literature that explores the private collector’s relationship to the heritage sector from their perspective. Literature on private collectors has tended to privilege the perspectives of publicly funded heritage institutions, affirming these institutions as the best place for the care and access to heritage collections. None of this literature or research has considered the private collector’s perspective as a means to better understand their collecting activities or their position in relation to the heritage sector. This thesis places the private collector at the centre of enquiry. It explores the private collector’s position in relation to the heritage sector through examining their perceptions and collecting practices relative to publicly funded heritage institutions. Audiovisual interviews were conducted with eight private collectors to achieve this aim. Verbal and observational data captured through this method was analyzed and considered in relation to existing literature regarding the values and practices of public heritage institutions, as well as sociological theories of agency. Findings showed that there is a shared ethos between the private collector and the publicly funded heritage institution. This ethos is founded on common values and collecting practices. Findings also reveal that the individual agency of the private collector offers them autonomy in their collecting activities. This autonomy causes them to enact their collecting practices in accordance with their own subjective tastes. These tastes distinguish the private collector and their collecting practices from publicly funded heritage institutions and assist in identifying the private collector’s position in relation to the heritage sector. This research contributes to a canon of international and national research into private collectors and evaluative judgments regarding collecting. It enhances the publicly funded heritage institutions potential to collaborate with private collectors through providing a deeper understanding of their perspectives and practices.</p>
