Risk Analyses and Protective Measure Recommendations for Beylerbeyi Palace

Museums, libraries, and archives, as information and cultural centers, are institutions of societal memory carried from the past to the future. Beylerbeyi Palace, the subject of this work, as a museum palace, harbors invaluable treasures due to its structural characteristics and collections. Like all cultural heritage works, this unique museum palace must be safely and securely passed on to future generations.
Cultural heritage works face many risks from their initial creation, whether physical, chemical, biological, human, or natural. It is necessary to proactively identify potential sources of these risks and to take precautions against risks that may develop if these threats are not addressed using scientific methods. The sustainability of information and cultural centers' functions and their ability to quickly recover even when a risk is encountered by developing capacity to overcome this risk are issues that decision-makers must prioritize.

Dr. Kuzucuoğlu, in her work, addresses the risks that may arise at the scale of a museum palace not from a single perspective but from all angles within the "Integrated Museum Management" concept, attempting to present problems and preventive solutions. What do you say to rethinking all possible risks that could affect our cultural heritage?
