Measurable Outcome(s)

The short-term measurable outcomes were achieved. RCHS hired a window film company to install 3M Prestige 70 film on all Gibbs Farm buildings that house collections. Collections will be protected from light damage mitigated by the film. RCHS will continue to protect its collections from environmental light damage. RCHS will continue to monitor light levels in the Gibbs Farm buildings, as it does in all locations where collections are found.
