Tinytag data loggers monitor temperature and humidity levels for Berkshire Record Office
It is critical for archive environments to maintain adequate environmental levels in areas where historical records are held. An unsuitable environment, including inappropriate temperature and humidity levels, can adversely impact the condition of precious materials, causing issues such as mould growth and accelerating the rate of material deterioration.

Long-term monitoring for museum preservation | Tinytag monitoring solutions
Rushden Transport Museum in Northamptonshire is uniquely situated in the Victorian-era Rushden Station. Housing a large collection of items relating to the history of road and rail transport, as well as the social history of the local area, the old station building and the Museum’s storage – a nearby port-a-cabin – are enigmatic surroundings for such collections – but are not ideal environments for displaying and storing sensitive museum collections.

Sub-Antarctic museum uses Tinytag data loggers for long-term monitoring and conservation
South Georgia Museum opened in 1992 in Grytviken, an old whaling station on South Georgia, an island in the polar front of the Southern Atlantic. The Museum is housed in the former Whaling Station Manager’s Villa and is home to an exciting collection of items that tell the story of the cultural heritage and natural history of South Georgia. The Museum’s collections include exhibitions on discovery, sealing, whaling, surveying and expeditions, maritime and military history, natural history and Sir Ernest Shackleton, the 20th Century Antarctic explorer.

Transport
Temperature and humidity loggers can help ensure that the correct environmental conditions are maintained during the transportation of sensitive items and artefacts.
-
Building Monitoring
Temperature, humidity and CO2 loggers can be used effectively within public buildings such as museums to help ensure adequate ventilation and climate control levels are maintained.Loggers can also help to identify where steps can be taken to improve energy efficiency.
