LÆFAN / Guidance / Collection Monitoring Planner

Interactive planning tool

Build a monitoring checklist around the collection and the space.

Choose what you are looking after, where it is and what monitoring you already have. The planner suggests the questions worth covering and shows how they map into LÆFAN.

This is not a profile generator. It does not choose RH, temperature or light limits for an object. Published figures still need to be considered in context and, where appropriate, reviewed by a conservator.

Your context

Three choices are enough to get a useful starting checklist.

The planner uses the same reviewed guidance as the rest of this section. It deliberately recommends what to think about, not universal numerical limits.

1. What are you monitoring?

Choose the closest group. Composite or unusual objects may need more specific advice.

2. Where is it?
3. What can you measure now?

How that maps into LÆFAN

Why these suggestions?

They draw on current UK collections-care guidance about environmental monitoring, light, display cases and context-based environmental management. The links below are the source, not the planner itself.

Need the numbers?

Use the checklist first, then go to the material guide.

The material pages show the published example ranges and their sources. They also explain the exceptions that stop those examples becoming universal limits.
