Hello
I manage a collection of textiles. The HVAC system in our storage
areas is programmed to keep the temperature between 60 and 65 degrees.
Often, it is on the low end of that. I've always been taught that
between 68 and 72 degrees is, in general, the ideal temperature for
collections storage. Can anyone tell me if the lower range is for any
reason more appropriate for textiles? Or if it is detrimental to them?
Thanks,
Diana
