Abstract

Hygrometric half-lives and air exchange rates of four commonly used types of museum cases: Solander boxes, portfolio boxes, music boxes, and document boxes were measured. This paper will present the experimental results and illustrate the effect of the construction materials and closure characteristics on the moisture buffering capability of museum cases.
