[BCMA] Seeking rental storage & workspace options for collections project

[Moderated BCMA subscriber listserv]

Dear all, As a conservator my thoughts are about storage in a container
are that things inside may suffer from going from the climate of a house to
basically a climate that has some buffering  and protection from the rain
but it might be a climate shock for some artefacts

It would be an interesting experiment to put a monitor in a storage
container , but an empty container will react differently to one say full
of furniture , as they take in and give out humidity
Cheers Paul Harrison objects conservator FIIC
