  • 1 Providing Safe and Practical Environments for Cultural Property
    1 Providing Safe and Practical Environments for Cultural Property in Historic Buildings—and Beyond By Richard L. Kerschner Introduction The day I started as a newly trained conservator at Shelburne Museum in 1982, I stepped onto the path of creating and maintaining efficient, sustainable preservations environments. I quickly discovered that if I were to have any success in preserving over one hundred fifty thousand artifacts exhibited and stored in twenty-nine buildings spread over forty acres in the harsh Vermont climate, I would have to do it efficiently, and I would probably have to stretch the boundaries of acceptable temperature and relative humidity (RH) ranges for preservation of collections. Twenty-five years ago, conservators in the United States usually cited 20ºC (68ºF) and 50% RH as safe temperature and humidity limits for the preservation of collections. That was generally a correct answer. However, as I researched museum and historic building environmental standards and became more familiar with Shelburne’s varied collections and the buildings that housed them, I began to realize that such restrictive standards were not only unreasonable for buildings that included a covered bridge and several barns, but they were probably unnecessary for the preservation of most of our artifacts. As I examined collections in the various exhibition and storage buildings, I found that most of the seventy- to one-hundred-fifty-year-old artifacts were in good condition, even though many had experienced minimal environmental control and been repeatedly exposed to seasonal temperature extremes of –18ºC (0ºF) to 32ºC (90ºF) and RH extremes of 10% to 95%.

  • The Open Air Museum, Upper Canada Vilage and Shelburne Museum
    THE OPEN AIR MUSEUM Upper Canada Village & Shelburne Museum Katherine Rossy Department of History Concordia University Nestled along the banks of the St. Lawrence River in Morrisburg, Ontario, Upper Canada Village transports visitors back in time to 1860s Post-Confederation rural life through total sensory immersion. Gravel crunches beneath the visitor’s feet as he makes his way toward the village through the parking lot. The scent of freshly baked bread wafts in the air, and horses’ hooves click rhythmically in the distance. These factors engage the visitor’s senses and immediately immerse him in a lost era. Similarly, the Shelburne Museum in Shelburne, Vermont, also recreates the sights, sounds, tastes, smells, and textures of American social history from the colonial period to the turn of the twentieth century. Both spaces belong to the genre of open-air museums, and both attempt to plunge visitors into the sensualized environments of eras passed. The visitor’s first stop in Upper Canada Village is Beach’s Sawmill. [See Figure 1] Perched above a babbling brook, the mill noisily and systematically cuts lumber at an unprecedented speed by means of a water-powered engine. Sawdust floats through the air before finally settling on the floor, while water condenses in the humid Indian summer air. Next to Beach’s Sawmill is the Asseline Woolen Factory, which operates at full speed for maximum textile production. The pungent scent of wood and moldy wool form a unique aroma whose sensual properties are further heightened by the presence of a weaver who is busily working away. The first floor of the factory, one of Canada’s earliest water-powered textile mills, cards wool by using the river beneath THE SENSORY MUSEUM PROJECT 1 it as its energy source.
