Preservation Needs Assessment



Preservation Needs Assessment

Late last year we announced our successful application to the Community Heritage Grants Program to provide for a Preservation Needs Assessment for the Norfolk Island Museum.
On island this week is the Museum of Tropical Queensland’s Conservator, Sue Valis to undertake this assessment for us, albeit a little anxious with Cyclone Debbie bearing down on the coast of North Queensland!

A Preservation Needs Assessment generally provides key recommendations for the short, medium and long term management of collections.  It will assess existing policies and their impact on the collection; broadly outline material type and condition of objects in our collection; examine buildings and the environment, storage and display; assess visitor impact; disaster preparedness; and offer suggestions for professional development.  One of the outcomes will be a list of recommendations to inform our Preservation Plan.  Also and importantly, it will be the key tool to support future grant applications for conservation projects and planning to protect the collections for the future.

The Norfolk Island Museum definitely has challenges working within the heritage buildings in Kingston; the stone walls effusing salt, the proximity to chloride laden air, relative humidity and air circulation control, to name just a few.  These environmental challenges are just one of the key areas that Sue can offer suggestions to mitigate the effects.  Of particular note is the high level of UV on Norfolk Island, even the amount that penetrates through the filtered sashed windows in the gallery spaces is quite surprising.  Unfortunately this means we will need to consider blocking out the natural light but it also confirms that Norfolk’s air is clean!

This Preservation Needs Assessment is possible with thanks to the Community Heritage Grants Program managed by the National Library, along with its partner institutions and the Federal Government.  And of course our thanks and appreciation to Sue Valis for coming to Norfolk to undertake the assessment followed by the huge task of compiling the report when she returns home; and to the Museum of Tropical Queensland and the Queensland Museum for supporting her visit.

  5. Hi viewers online, I'm Alfonso Vázquez from Mexico. I'm here to share my testimony about how i was helped to get my wife back. I was a cheat and my wife caught me several times. I tried fixing myself and each time i ended up cheating over and over again. I guess i didn't realise what she meant to me until she had left me alone. I began to find a way to get her back but nothing seems to work out perfectly till i came across an article about Lord Zakuza who helped a lot of people globally to get their relationships back. I made contact with him on his WhatsApp number via +1 740-573-9483 and he assured me that my wife will come back to me within 48 hours with his powerful magics and i paid 410 Euros for the materials needed for the work. Surprisingly, my wife came back home after 2 days saying that she still loves me and i swore never to cheat on her anymore. All thanks to Lord Zakuza. Email him via ( lordzakuza7@gmail.com ) or WhatsApp number via +1 740-573-9483.

  6. A GREAT SPELL CASTER (DR. EMU) THAT HELP ME BRING BACK MY EX GIRLFRIEND.
    Am so happy to testify about a great spell caster that helped me when all hope was lost for me to unite with my ex-girlfriend that I love so much. I had a girlfriend that love me so much but something terrible happen to our relationship one afternoon when her friend that was always trying to get to me was trying to force me to make love to her just because she was been jealous of her friend that i was dating and on the scene my girlfriend just walk in and she thought we had something special doing together, i tried to explain things to her that her friend always do this whenever she is not with me and i always refuse her but i never told her because i did not want the both of them to be enemies to each other but she never believed me. She broke up with me and I tried times without numbers to make her believe me but she never believed me until one day i heard about the DR. EMU and I emailed him and he replied to me so kindly and helped me get back my lovely relationship that was already gone for two months.
