Vibrations caused by sources in or near collections, and during loan transport continue to be a major concern for museum and collection professionals around the world. The RCE has been conducting a major research program led by Dr. W. (Bill) Wei on the effect of vibrations on the condition of valuable heritage objects.
The main results of this program will be presented during a hybrid workshop on November 30, 2023. This workshop will include lectures on practical experience, the results of a statistical survey of loan transport, vibration testing of objects, and demonstrations of vibration monitoring equipment and methods.
