Study of the current state of environmental parameters in the archives of the Slovenian Cinema-library and a proposal for appropriate air-conditioning of depots

Slovenska kinoteka je nacionalni muzej in kot taka predstavlja našo kulturno dediščino. Zbirka arhivskega gradiva, ki je v njej shranjena, je del svetovne in tudi naše filmske zgodovine in je pomembna za sodobno družbo. Ker imajo filmski materiali različne kemijske in fizikalne lastnosti, na njihov obstoj močno vplivajo okoljski parametri, zato potrebujejo različne pogoje za hranjenje. V ta namen smo v arhivu Slovenske kinoteke preučili obstoječe stanje in izvedli potrebne meritve. Predstavili smo možne razloge ter oblike razpada posameznih filmskih materialov ter dokazali, zakaj pravilna klimatizacija ob ustrezni hrambi preprečuje njihovo pospešitev. Pri rezultatih meritev smo ugotovili, da pogoji v depojih niso idealni, zato smo na podlagi pridobljenih rezultatov oz. podatkov predstaviti predlog za ustrezno klimatizacijo ter s tem izboljšanje pogojev hranjenja filmskega gradiva.The Slovenian Cinema-library is a national museum and as such represents our cultural heritage. The collection of archival material preserved there is part of the world\u27s and our film history and is important for modern society. As film materials have different chemical and physical properties, their sustainability depends on environmental parameters and they therefore require different storage conditions. For this purpose, we examined the existing situation in the Slovenian Cinema-library archive and carried out the necessary measurements. We have presented the possible causes and types of decay of individual film materials and demonstrated why proper conditioning and storage prevent their acceleration. The results of the measurements showed that the conditions in the depots are not ideal and, based on the results and data obtained, a proposal was made for proper air conditioning and thus for improving the storage conditions of the film material
