Proper storage is critical for all collecting institutions and private collections. In this first in a series of short articles, I will provide some tips and considerations for those looking to better store and preserve their collections. The goals of storage are to provide proper support and environment. Flags and other artifacts deteriorate from poor handling and lack of archival materials, high light levels, mold, pest, temperature and relative humidity and inherent vice, i.e., a material’s intrinsic and irreversible instability to a chemical or a process used in its manufacture. The role of proper storage is to lower the effects of these modes of deterioration.
