[BCMA] Care of Historical Objects in Nature House

[Moderated BCMA subscriber listserv.]

Please post:

Hello All,

What steps could a regional park system (with a tight budget) take to  
best extend the life of a Cowichan-knit sweater, typewriter and  
walking stick that belonged to a historical figure connected with one  
of our nature houses?

The nature house doors are often left wide open in the warmer months.  
In the winter, the heat is turned up high several days a month and  
kept quite low at night. The objects are usually on display as part of  
an exhibit, left out in the open. Display lights are directed at them.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance.
