Dear Colleagues:

I would like to thank everyone who responded to my query, "Why store
artifacts in a safe."  I found that everybody's response was insightful and
helpful.  I can see why many monetarily high valued items should be stored
in a safe in order to provide additional security.  Many rings and coins in
our collection are kept in a safe and I can see why with the rising sales of
sports memorabilia.

As to the environmental conditions in a safe, our museum has been awarded a
CAP grant and will undergo a conservation assessment in the fall.  I will
address the environmental conditions of our safe to the conservator carrying
out the assessment.  Thanks again for the responses.
