Learn best practice methods for handling, packing and labelling objects in your museum collection. Good object handling and packing provides protection, support and stability to the object and helps prevent accidental damage when it is in storage or being moved. It is also crucial to label objects accurately and safely. This avoids the loss of an object’s history and reduces the risk of disassociation, one of the causes of deterioration for museum objects.
