Hallo Angela,

with delay here is my contribution to your question:
in 1991 in London has been a conference on studies in the transport of
paintings which was accompanied by a voluminous handbook. Organizing
institutions were the Canadian Conservation Institute CCI, the Conservation
Analytical Laboratory of the Smithsonian Institution, the National Gallery
of Art in Washington and the Tate Gallery. Some of the articles were
specifically dedicated to the problems of short and longterm shock and
vibration effects on works of art, in this context mainly during handling
and transit situations. However, I think  the problems are principally
comparable.
I am sure you find something interesting in this publication, at least an
extensive "selected" bibliography. The exact title reads: Art in Transit.
Studies in the Transport of Paintings. Ed. by Marion F. Mecklenburg.
Published 1991 by the National Gallery of Art, WashingtonISBN 0-89468-163-X

Betreff: Vibration affects on collections


Hello,

I'm looking for any information regarding long term vibration affects on
museum collections.  I work with a collection that is housed in a dam.
Does anyone know of any studies, articles, books, etc. on long term affects
of vibration to museum collections?

I appreciate your help!!  Angela
