- Résumé
- The Canadian Conservation Institute recently conducted comprehensive risk management projects for two historic house museums in central Canada. Following an intensive site survey combined with dialogue with the clients, risks related to all agents of deterioration affecting the building, interiors and collections were analyzed using the CCI-ICCROM-RCE method. Risks that ranked highest included loss due to fire or theft, light fading of collections, damage to some interior and exterior building finishes, and water issues resulting from poor roof repair. Lower risks in the Canadian context included pest infestation and damage due to incorrect relative humidity and temperature. Methods that could be implemented to reduce the highest risks were shown to be cost-effective even when the estimated cost is very high. The projects were effective in helping clients set preventive conservation priorities for both building and artifacts.
