Re: Thoughts on Open Storage systems
You can also search for the synonym subject term "visible storage." Doing so will come up with various resources such as:
Paul C. Thistle
1997 Visible Storage for the Small Museum. In Simon Knell ed. Care of Collections. Leicester Readers in Museum Studies. (London & New York: Routledge, 1994 & 1997), pp. 187-196 [Reprint of 1990 Curator 33(1):49-62 article with editorial comment "essential reading for anyone considering the visible storage option."]. Chapter 22 beginning at page 207: http://books.google.com/books?id=-s6awQjJQU4C&pg=PA207&dq=Paul+C.+Thistle&as_brr=3&rview=1#v=onepage&q=Paul%20C.%20Thistle&f=false .
This article is based on a reveiw of pros & cons.
Respectfully yours

However I’d like to add an additional note of caution, since you mention this is a silver-plated trophy, not solid. The amount of silver on plated wares varies tremendously based on how much was initially applied and how much has worn/been polished away over the years. The last thing you want is to polish away the silver layer and expose the base metal below. So take a good look before you start to see if the silver is already worn away in any areas and in general go very lightly with the carbonate.

> I would like to reinforce Kathy's warning. Plated objects have a LIMITED number of polishings that are possible over their lifetimes. Once the silver is worn away, which usually occurs unevenly, exposing patches of the base metal, the object is essentially ruined, unless re-plating can be considered ethically acceptable. So, they are ideal candidates for a protective coating application after careful polishing. This could last 50-100 years, depending upon the ambient atmospheric conditions, and could eliminate the need for a dozen or more polishings. Instructions for coating metals are available on the web, or a it can be referred to a conservator for professional application.
