Risk Management Process Analysis Paper

As CCI note 13/3 mentions, my primary reason for choosing rolled storage for the scarf is that it is a space saver. Since folding the object is not recommended (Nielson 213), it would be difficult to find a storage space for the scarf that would be able to accommodate the length of the scarf without wasting storage space. Additionally, keeping the scarf rolled makes it much easier to move than if it was stored lying flat. The one pitfall to rolled storage is that in order to view the textile, a fair amount of handling has to ensue. However, attaching a tag with detailed information and a colour photo of the scarf, as detailed by CCI note 13/3, helps to reduce the amount of handling that could occur by allowing staff to see what it is without …show more content…
I believe that the more conservative strategies are limiting to how the scarf could be displayed. Nielson states that the scarf would ideally be placed in a plexiglass display case (213). This way, it would be protected from pollutants, such as dust and emissions, and from light radiation. However, since the scarf is relatively new and in good condition, it could be displayed in the open air, so long as the light levels are low, temperature and humidity are controlled, the room has no windows, and the scarf was not on permanent display. As far as how the scarf is physically displayed, I decided the most important factors are that it is not folded and that the weight is evenly distributed. As CCI note 13/6 recommends, the safest way to display the scarf would be to mount the scarf on a rigid backing. Yet displaying the scarf in that manner, in my opinion, takes away from the purpose of the object, which is why I suggest potentially draping or wrapping it over a bust. That being said, I would not recommend tying a knot as that would place considerable strain on the fibres of the
