Introduction
The importance of preserving cultural heritage under the best conditions is imperative for all.
Cultural heritage institutions have the responsibility of preserving collections, either presented in spaces
dedicated to the public or stored in the dedicated areas (stored collections).
In the latter case, the collections should benefit from the same conservation and accessibility conditions
as those presented to the public; they should also allow their management and research for their
transmission to future generations. These areas dedicated to the preservation of cultural heritage include
various functions and can sometimes also be made accessible to the public.
The purpose of the present document is to help the user in the design and function of these areas called
“Open Storage Facilities” or “Collection Centres”.
Open Storage Facilities have four main purposes:
— to store collections while meeting conservation requirements;
— to facilitate access to the collections;
— to allow for the management of collections;
— to provide the safety and security of collections.
This document may be used for designing new open storage facilities or for the improvement of existing
storage facilities.
The concept of open storage facilities is general. It relates to places fulfilling the functions defined in this
document belonging to any type of institution (archives, libraries, archaeological stores, museums, …)
dedicated to the safekeeping of any type of collection (archives, books, archaeological items, etc.).
This document identifies the functions and space-related components of open storage facilities. It is
complementary to EN 16893:2018 “Conservation of Cultural Heritage — Specifications for location,
construction and modification of buildings or rooms intended for the storage or use of heritage
collections”.
prEN 16141:2023(E)
