Continuing the results of our polls - 60% prefer to have a hybrid approach of permanent display area (that may change content regularly) and an on-line virtual museum, 64% have a partially completed catalogue of items; no-one claimed to have a complete list and 22% haven't started making a list, Excel or otherwise. As regards funding, 50% of archives are self-funded - clearly this cannot be sustainable and must put those archives and collections at risk.

Vibrations from a variety of sources can have a detrimental impact on museum collections. Protecting museum collections from vibrations due to human activity and building construction is a recognized concern. In this article, WJE engineers Arne Johnson and Mohamed ElBatanouny, PhD, SE provide a number of case studies, including the recent NASCAR Street Race event where cars roared around the Art Institute of Chicago at speeds of nearly 150 mph. Each case study summarizes some of the factors that should be considered in museum facility operations to help reduce the risks to museum collections from these sources of vibrations.
