Abstract: Conservation of artifacts is a major concern of museum cura tors. Light, humidity, and air pollution are responsible for the deterioration of many artifacts and materials. We present here an exploratory analysis of humidity and temperature data that were collected to document the en vironment of the Bowdoin College Museum of Art, located in the Walker Art Building at Bowdoin College. As a result of this study, funds are being sought to install a climate control system.
