2. Biomonitoring and Preservation Environment Assessment

BMST offers biomonitoring to investigate and assess biological factors affecting the preservation of archival materials and cultural heritage. This includes the assessment of biological agents such as mould and bacteria, with consideration of each institution’s preservation environment and collection characteristics. Based on the findings, we explore appropriate preventive and management strategies. We welcome cooperation with archives, libraries, museums and cultural heritage organisations on preservation environment assessments, technical consultation and joint evaluations.
