dc.description.abstract | Ceramic management as an aspect of collections management presents certain storage and
preservation challenges despite the relative stability of the ceramic materials. They are not only
affected by poor handling, poor storage, poor conservation, but also by salt, humidity/water and
dust. Systems analysis and SWOT analysis were used to analyse the archaeology department in
Nairobi museum. While the museum boasts of longstanding staff, with great knowledge and
expertise, lack of resources and motivation was found to threaten the treasures under museum
care and archaeological collections are no exemption. The study recommends that proper storage
principles be adhered to, staff be stimulated and requisite materials provided to facilitate
conservation/preservation of this invaluable heritage. In addition, the study proposes that new
storage facilities be established at certain reachable regions to ease space pressure at Nairobi and
Fort Jesus Museums. | en |
