When Austin Senseman and Nathan McMinn visited the Birmingham Museum of Art in 2018, they witnessed a labor intensive – but widely accepted – method of monitoring the artwork.
“We experienced what we later learned is called ‘data logger day,’” Senseman says. “This is when a preservation professional goes and checks [the museum]’s data loggers, which are used to measure temperature and relative humidity. The tools we saw on that day were very manual." Senseman and McMinn were both interested in starting a business, and the tedium of data logger day inspired them to found the Birmingham-based company Conserv.
Here's the fascinating way they are using technology to preserve history. |
