Through site visits, telephone interviews and email feedback, the preservation environment of museum collections in the Guangdong area was surveyed. The survey results show that most Guangdong local cultural units do not have storage rooms that meet the technical requirements required for the safety of the cultural relics collection. Leaks, moisture, mildew, moths and other problems exist. All these are extremely bad for protection of objects of cultural heritage interest. In order to solve these problems, given the Guangdong climate environment and the needs of the cultural relics collection, two suggestions are given:one is to establish a centralized warehouse for storage; the other is to set up devices that will provide automatic control of the humidity levels in the microenvironment.
