SOLUTIONS FOR MUSEUMS

A HISTORY OF EXPERT CONSULTATION & CONSOLIDATION

~ ONE SPECIALTY AT A TIME ~

"Having the ability to EXPAND STORAGE SPACE provided staff with GREATER ACCESS to the collection and, ultimately, brought in more collections that we wouldn't otherwise have been able to acquire."  
~Karen Herbaugh, Curator, The American Textile History Museum.

Challenge
While the heart of any cultural institution or museum is its collection, effective storage and preservation are what keep your organization viable. On average, 90% of a collection is in storage.  Protecting it from temperature, humidity, light and other disasters ... including pests, is our goal.  You must work within the highest standards of conservation practices to gain efficiencies to maximize your space. Many of the world's finest institutions have trusted Systematics to help preserve their valuable artifacts.  See examples of installations for collection storage.
