Daria Gorbaczewska is conservator deeply interested in the questions of preventive conservation.
She took part in a couple of projects in collection's care including emergency planning, risks assessment, conservation contexts assessment, testing on vibration impact on historical objects and using Oddy test for evaluation of corrosion on materials. Her courses in Berlin and in Paris included every aspect of preventive conservation with a theoretical and practical underpinning.

Project in Preventive Conservation in the archive, Medical History Museum, Berlin
Project in Preventive Conservation in the archive, Medical History Museum, Berlin
The Berlin Museum of Medical History houses a small archive containing valuable manuscripts in leather bindings.
The group's task was to record and critically examine the archive with regard to the environmental parameters of climate, light, pests, VOCs as well as storage conditions, packaging and its usability.
Over a period of 3 months, the group carried out a variety of measurements and research. The task was organised as follows: Firstly, the archive space and its inventory were described in order to create an overview. Secondly, investigations and measurements of the space that took place during the given time frame were described, followed by the analysis, evaluation and discussion of the results. Finally, an optimisation concept was proposed.

How does the object behave in relation to external influence of vibrations and what resulting damage can occur to the object?
The material life of a historical object undergoes a slow and steady transformation of matter. It is mostly the already aged state that is perceived, such as a crack, brittleness, glass corrosion (microcracks) or breakage.
A crack usually forms at a weak point in the material. The weak point can be caused by an impact, which forms microcracks. Repeated vibrations can then cause a crack to form.
Years of little noticeable vibrations in the environment can contribute to object ageing. Large vibrations are mainly observed during the transport of cultural-historical objects.
The project consisted in testing of the effects of vibrations on historical objects.

Project in Emergency Planning, Museum of Natural History, Berlin
This two-month study of the risk situation of a beetle collection of the Museum of Natural History has laid a foundation for an emergency planning.
In an emergency, it is important to act in a structured and considered manner and to remain capable of action. An appropriate emergency concept enables the museum to identify and formulate appropriate recommendations for action and structured procedures even before an emergency occurs. Measures that should be taken following a disaster include:
Preparations in case of disaster alert/pre-warning
Communication in the event of a disaster
Assessment of the situation
Documentation of the disaster
Stabilisation of building
Start of salvage work
Maintaining the environmental parameters
Damage assessment
