A collection can be a collection of various items, including works of art, antiques, stamps, books, jewelry and so on. These items may be collected for their historical value, artistic value, cultural value or economic value.
In addition to personal collection, the government and institutions will also carry out collection activities. For example, the museum will collect various cultural relics and artworks for public study and appreciation. The library will collect all kinds of books and documents for readers to borrow and study.
Collection can also be an investment behavior. Some people increase their wealth by collecting rare items or antiques. However, investment-oriented collections need to pay attention to risk and value assessment, because some items may have inestimable value or their market value may change.
In addition, collecting can also be a hobby or interest. Many people like to collect certain types of items, such as stamps, coins, models, etc. These collections may be their interest in collections since childhood, or they may be gradually cultivated during their growth.
Preservation environment of the collection:
1, temperature and humidity control: keeping proper temperature and humidity can prevent the goods from being damaged. Generally speaking, the temperature should be kept between 18℃ and 24℃, and the humidity should be controlled between 40% and 60%. If the goods are paper or textiles, it is necessary to control the humidity more strictly.
2, lighting control: lighting will have an impact on the color and texture of the item, so direct glare should be avoided. For paper or textiles, a soft light source should be used to avoid the damage of ultraviolet rays.
3. Air circulation: Good air circulation can prevent the growth of mold and pests. In closed display cabinets or storage rooms, air purifiers or dehumidifiers should be used to keep the air clean and dry.
4. Dust prevention and cleaning: Regular cleaning and collection can prevent the accumulation of dust and dirt. For items that are difficult to clean, professional cleaners and nursing agents can be used for treatment.
5. Fire prevention and theft prevention: Collections are often of high value, so fire prevention and theft prevention is an important aspect of collection preservation. Necessary measures should be taken to ensure the safety of the collection, such as installing anti-theft system and fire alarm.
