DIN EN 16141:2013-01 EN 16141:2012 (E) 4 Introduction The importance of preserving and transmitting cultural heritage under the best conditions is imperative for all, but is of upmost importance for cultural heritage insti

22、tutions. They have the responsibility 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

23、 display, either for the general 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

24、institutions and this guidance 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

25、for the management of collections; 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 gatherin

26、g the functions defined in 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) DIN EN 16141:2013-01 EN 16141:2012 (E) 5 1 Scope This European S

33、ecessary 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 other bu

34、t 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 dedicate

35、d 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 management.

36、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 collecti

37、ons 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 be p

38、rotected 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: stable en

39、vironmental 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 designe

40、d 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 clean

41、ing of the floor. Storage areas and furniture should be able to adapt to the growth of the collections without risks to safety and security. DIN EN 16141:2013-01 EN 16141:2012 (E) 7 4.3 Collections management 4.3.1 General Collections management areas fulfil the missions of study, consultation and p

42、reparation for display. These functions should be carried out in protected spaces and with preservation conditions appropriate to the collections and similar to those in the storage areas. If collections require particular conservation conditions (e.g. cold storage), the relevant acclimatisation mea

43、sures should be applied. 4.3.2 Documentation The documentation process includes e.g. identification, description, location, measurement, 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

44、be inventoried. During the documentation process, no other activity should be carried out in the vicinity of the objects. 4.3.3 Photography Photography, which may be for documentation, exhibition, scholarly, promotional or conservation purposes, must be carried out in a designated area, if possible,

45、 facilitating and limiting the movement of people and objects. Objects to be photographed shall be kept in the area during the shooting 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 exa

46、mination 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 faci

47、lities are connected to public exhibition areas, handling, packing, moving and conditioning of the objects meet the same protocols as all other objects in transit. This also applies to loaned objects. Public entry to the exhibition areas is separate from any access to other activities in the storage

48、 facilities. 4.4 Collection services 4.4.1 General Collection services include all operations relating to the circulation and well-being of objects, especially those related to exit or entry to the open storage facility. They enable accessibility to the objects. Service areas are located in separate areas, connected on one hand with the functions of storage, on the other hand with the functions of collections management. Collection service activities shoul
