Abstract

Cultural heritage institutions, such as archives, libraries, or museums commonly own collections composed of numerous objects, which, due to their large number are not subject to regular and systematic condition monitoring. In the industrial field, inspection standards to evaluate the quality of products have already been developed and certified, based on the evaluation of random pieces. The present research aimed to adapt one of those industrial standards to monitor the conservation condition of vast cultural heritage collections. We used, as a test subject, a numismatic collection composed of 22777 iron coins minted during the Spanish Second Republic. In our first inspection (2018), 1520 coins were sampled according to the industrial standard. Assessment and recording of the conservation condition was carried out through image analysis and coin weighing. In our second inspection (2020- 2021) no significant deterioration of the coins was detected. This second inspection also corroborated the effectiveness of the implemented monitoring protocol.

设计和实施监测大量藏品状况的协议:以西班牙内战时期的宝藏为例

文化遗产机构，如档案馆、图书馆或博物馆，通常拥有由众多物品组成的藏品，由于数量众多，这些藏品没有受到定期和系统的状况监测。在工业领域，基于随机件的评价，已经制定并认证了评价产品质量的检验标准。目前的研究旨在调整这些工业标准之一，以监测大量文化遗产收藏品的保护状况。作为测试对象，我们使用了由西班牙第二共和国时期铸造的22777枚铁硬币组成的钱币收藏。在我们的第一次检查(2018年)中，根据行业标准抽取了1520枚硬币。通过图像分析和钱币称重对文物保存状况进行了评估和记录。在我们的第二次检查(2020- 2021)中，没有发现硬币明显变质。第二次视察也证实了所执行的监测议定书的有效性。

期刊介绍： Conservar Património is a journal, published three times a year, that intends to create a space for the diffusion of conservator-restorers’ studies and activities. However, at a time when Conservation-Restoration pretends to develop further through collaboration with other areas of knowledge, such as History of Art, Archaeology, Museum Studies, Chemistry, Physics, Biology and other related disciplines from the fields of the natural and social sciences, the journal also receives contributions from any other provenance as long as directed towards the multiple dimensions of the works that integrate our Cultural Heritage. Theoretical issues on the conservation activity may also be submitted.
