Abstract
An adaptation of the author's MA dissertation for Northumbria University, this paper outlines concepts of exhibit, storage, and visible storage, and discusses conflicting museum mandates of providing access versus ensuring preservation. The experiences of museums in Canada, USA, England, and Scotland which use visible storage and other means of enabling visitor access “behind-the-scenes” are surveyed and compared. Information is gathered from seven institutions, by means of a survey questionnaire, interviews, site visits and personal communication. The survey questionnaire probes four key areas: the institutional visible storage history, staff analysis of their experience, any methods of interpretation of conservation functions used, and recommendations for improved design. This data is discussed and supplemented with a review of existing literature and personal observations. Predominant risk factors of light exposure and vibration are identified. Recommendations are made for implementation of visible storage and visible conservation at other museums, based on these research findings.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
