Environmental monitoring has always played an important role in long-term collections care, and Collector Systems already makes it possible to connect temperature and humidity readings from any data logger directly to object records. By linking environmental data to the collections it is meant to protect, teams can track conditions alongside conservation history, loans, exhibitions, and other key object information without relying on disconnected spreadsheets or external systems.
Now, Collector Systems is taking that workflow a step further.
Coming soon, our new integration with Conserv will bring live environmental monitoring directly into the collections management experience. Temperature, humidity, and climate trends will be accessible alongside individual objects or across groups of objects, giving staff a clearer understanding of how environmental conditions may impact collections over time.
Rather than treating environmental monitoring as a separate process, the integration makes it part of the everyday collections workflow. With collection records and climate data connected in one place, museums and collections teams can make more informed decisions, respond more proactively to changing conditions, and build a stronger foundation for preventative conservation.
Conserv and Collector Systems have integrated their platforms to bring real-time environmental sensor data directly into your collections management system, linked to individual objects.
In this recorded session, we walked through the integration, show how it works in practice, and talk about where we plan to take it next.
