ABSTRACT
 Cultural artifacts is the connection of our history, both the present and the
ancient past. It represents every mystery, story and behind the scenes of how,
what and who are the ancient people that resides before us. Artifacts is a simple
complicated object and an instrument that was made by people in the past which
has a value and considered as a treasure nowadays, wherein some of the artifacts
worth thousands nor millions. This cultural artifacts are located and sited at the
museum where it is a cultural paradise due to the ancient weapons, instrument,
things and ancient fashion of the past.

Most of the cultural artifacts needs care and love in order to be preserved
and maintain its life for not to be in danger of extinction. Some of the cause of its
extinction that needs avoidance on practicing it are; careless handling of artifacts,
wrong position of placing artifacts and failure of making a secure and safe place
for the artifacts. Malpractices should be avoided to render protection to the beauty
of yesterday.

In order to prevent some extinction and make people aware of our history,
some solutions suggestion and recommendation can help in protecting our history.
Implementing seminar workshop and giving advertisement nor flyers makes a big
actions to spread awareness and existence of the museum and artifacts. Setting-up
CCTV’s for the safety and security of the artifacts through needs funds which is
appropriate for the government to provide. Lastly inviting co-workers and
students may a simple but appreciated for the people to which makes them proud
of their own history and treasure

A malpractice can cause extinction and damage to the artifacts. This study
expected for the result rob be successful of the people and Novo Vizcayano’s
have cooperation and discipline within rendering help for our history is an
admirable and appreciated thing to be enacted, being part of Vizcaya. This study
reassured the knowledge and information that can help, make the people aware of
the museum, artifacts and its problem to be solved and achieved this province
success. More artifacts, more representations and symbol of ours where visitors
rather foreigners to be attracted and visit our simple abode which tourism are big
help for our province to be known and discover. However, solutions needs actions
and effort of every people achieving the solution of the problem. Lastly, in order
to establish every actions, brainstorming pros and cons of each solution can make
assurance that every plans to be enacted is going to be successful with our effort,
love, care and discipline.

CHAPTER I
 INTRODUCTION

Background of the Study

Cultural artifacts are critical import to the study of humans and

civilizations over the course of history. This are concrete items related to a
specific culture that was left behind by the century and sometimes was considered
a fossil. This items aren’t useful for what it has been made to use but useful for
the information of history that it carries. Such as, old coins, frequency, pots, jars,
sculptures, accessories and clothing. This artifacts are discovered by archeologists
under the grounds or behind a hidden village that has literally considered no value
at all. They are collecting this items to give mere existence and preservation for
they believe studying histories can lead us to the future and gives information
about the past lives of the ancestors. In addition, this items collected are placed
and stored in a museum wherein preservation is applied.

Cultural artifacts show, lead, connect, build, and preserve history. It has
different stories that can build, present the pre-historical situation and can
influence the way of living of an individual. Some of it has many stories and
mysteries behind that are meant to discover and kept by the next generation. It
forms and complete the life in the earth wherein art is everywhere that makes
one’s life and a creation meaningful. It is one of the most interesting and
mysterious thing that an individual must have connection with. It contains
messages through its designs, patterns and carbon identity that portrays a
subjective information and discoveries.

Preserving must undergo in continuation and maintenance for poor practice in

preserving cultural artifacts can bestow a big impact and effects on the item. The
artifacts must be in provision of extra care for this items are rarely irreplaceable
and easily reacts with its environment. Which can cause to the item’s damage and
extinction. In some other cases in a museum, it is prohibited to use a flash in
capturing photos for it can react to the chemicals applied on the items that are
preserved chemically. For some of the artifacts are preserved chemically for it
can’t be preserved for just merely enclosing it in a glass. If conditions are defied
the item can be in a bad condition and near to destruction or extinction. That is
why some museums are strictly prohibiting some regulations to avoid necessary
circumstances.

Preserving is providing and providing is avoiding circumstances. From

keeping it safe from harm or loss is a legacy benefited for the next generation.
Preserving it is very essential in a society because it represents the culture and
ethics from a specific origin that are mostly seen in museums. Preserving this
artifacts is a must for it contains the history itself, and this history is former called
an art. Preserving arts are very significant to the contributors and it is the sign of
respect on the ancestors who have a big contribution in our nation. Through
preservation, we are able to preserve the things that make us remember and
reminded for the history behind. Cultural artifacts must be introduce properly and
preserve well because it is the best way to remember and have knowledge about
history. By giving importance to museums in a way of right preservation and
good maintenance.

Nowadays, it is observed that technologies cultured youths rather than

studying the interconnection of present from past. You can also see that youth are
fund of technologies (gadgets) by innovation of application technologies. To
promote museums, home of cultural arts the local must plan for structural
innovations to attract people and form interests on their mind to discover things
beyond their intuitions.

The primary mission of most history museums is to collect, preserve, and

exhibit and interpret objects of historical significance. Over time, all objects will
begin to deteriorate for a variety of reasons, such as environmental conditions, use
and natural decay. In order to maintain the objects in such condition that they will
survive for the enjoyment and education of future generations, it is vital that
museums practice proper preservation measures. Knowing how to handle, display
and store the artifacts in your museum’s collection can add a significant number
of years to the life of the objects.

Most history museum collections consist of two basic categories of

materials organic and inorganic. Organic artifacts’ include those made from
animal products such as fur, leather, wool, silk, bone, ivory, or feathers and also
those made from plant products such as wood, paper, cotton and other natural
fibres. Inorganic artefacts are those made from non-living materials such as metal,
stone, ceramics and glass. While in general inorganic materials are more stable
and less susceptible to environmental damage than organic materials, it is best to
consider all objects fragile and to treat them with great care.

Statement of the Problem

This study aims to find and determine the Effects of Poor Practice in
Preserving Cultural Artifacts to the Visitors at the People’s Museum, in
Bayombong, Nueva Vizcaya during the School Year 2017.

Specifically, this study aims to find an answer to the following:

1. What are the results of the poor practice in the preservation cultural
artifacts in the terms of:
a. Physical Appearance/ Outlook
 Color
 Texture
b. Extinction
c. Quality

2. What are the possible feedbacks of respondents in accordance with the

situation of poor practice preservation to be observed:
 Suggestion
 Recommendation
 What are the effects of poor practice in artifacts and to the museum?

Hypothesis

We aimed that this research will be one of instrument in determining and

discovering the possible effects and solutions that will be able to help the museum
to adapt the proper and appropriate way of preservation of cultural artifacts in
People’s Museum of Bayombong, Nueva Vizcaya.

Objectives of the study

This study aimed to identify the effect of poor practice in preserving

cultural artifacts to the visitors and to the workers at Bayombong, Nueva Vizcaya
during the school year 2017-2018

Especially, it sought to

1. Determine the demographic profile of the respected workers at People’s

Museum in terms of name, age and years of working.
2. Determine the demographic profile of the delegates visitors at People’s
Museum in terms of; times in visiting the museum, their knowledge about
the artifacts, and their observation and suggestion in preserving.
3. Determine the problems of preserving artifacts in accordance to their
observation especially in preservation processes and security.
4. Establish the significant relationship of the artifacts to the workers on
preserving.
5. Establish the significant relationship of the artifacts to the delegates’
visitor on preserving.

Significance of the Study

Researchers. This study can be one of the example and additional basis for the
future researchers’ knowledge and background in studying higher level of fine
arts.

Students. The result of this study will inform the students about the effects of
poor practice of preservation and able to help them to have an additional
information if ever their research is connected with artifacts. And as an additional
knowledge carried to be a stock knowledge for the future.

People’s Museum. The outcome of this research will inform them about the poor
practice that needs a change and a development for the sake of the artifacts,
museum and satisfaction of visitors.

Visitors. The result of the study will make the visitor more interested on the
artifacts after knowing the circumstances in preservation and about the different
significance of the arts and artifacts.

Scope and Delimitation

This study is focused on the effect of the poor practice in preserving

Cultural Artifacts at People’s Museum at Bayombong, Nueva Vizcaya. This
includes the practices in preservation in order to determine the problems that can
affect the artifacts physical appearances, quality and color.

The respected workers at the museum and delegate visitors are the
respondents on this research that are willingly and interested on the artifacts at the
museum. The most important information of the museum on preserving processes
is highly elaborated to know the procedures and steps in preserving.

Conceptual Framework

In preserving there are many problems and circumstances that the artifacts
must be manage in satisfaction by the person in charge in preserving it well. For
preserving must undergo in continuation and maintenance for poor practice in
preserving cultural artifacts can bestow a big impact and effects on the item. The
artifacts must be in provision of extra care for this items are rarely irreplaceable
and easily reacts with its environment. Which can cause to the item’s damage and
extinction. For some of the artifacts are preserved chemically for it can’t be
preserved for just merely enclosing it in a glass. If conditions are defied the item
can be in a bad condition and near to destruction or extinction. That is why some
museums are strictly prohibiting some regulations to avoid necessary
circumstances. And giving importance to museums in a way of right preservation
and good maintenance.

In this study, the knowledge of the respondents in terms of cultural artifacts and
preservation at the museum will be helpful to complete this research. The times of
visiting artifacts at the museum, the numbers of artifacts they’ve known, the
importance of arts for them, interest about cultural artifacts and lastly their
observation about the preservation of the cultural artifacts they’ve seen after
visiting.

 CHAPTER II

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE

Museums, historical societies, and archives hold treasures that require

preservation to stay in the best possible shape for the future. To display the many
and distinct cultures along with their history and items, museums and other
institutions were established. These artifacts tell the stories and histories of each
culture to millions of patrons that go through the institutions’ doors. These
patrons see and enjoy the public side of museums, historical societies, and
archives: the beautiful and historic artifacts that are in displayable condition for
viewing. These repositories house the rest of their collections in specialized
storage rooms and vaults. The housing of the artifacts in these specialized
locations helps to preserve them. Unfortunately, institutions are underfunded in
regard to preserving and housing their artifacts and consequently find it difficult
to properly preserve all of the artifacts. Artifact preservation can be found in
many instances in the survey of historical agencies and which will be discussed
throughout the rest of this paper. These artifacts can range from paper documents
and books to highly-prized photographs and paintings to textiles. Every artifact
has unique physical characteristics that need to be individually addressed
correctly to ensure that deterioration does not take place. The major issue these
institutions face is allocating limited funding between preservation of artifacts,
refreshing their exhibits to keep patrons visiting and donating, providing the
salaries of staff, and the building maintenance costs. Annually, many institutional
leaders have to prioritize spending and postpone other spending for the future.
Other administrators seek to develop new fundraising techniques to continue the
preservation of artifacts. This paper will be investigating how some institutions
deals with preserving their artifacts in storage. The preservation methods of
artifacts are specific to each type of artifact, even within the same collection.
Therefore, museums first must understand how each specific artifact will
deteriorate before they can acquire the materials necessary to preserve them.
There are many places to find information about deterioration problems of any
artifacts, including the Smithsonian Institution, the Metropolitan Museum of Art,
and the J. Paul Getty Museum. As one of the world’s renowned museums, the
Smithsonian, with its vast array of artifacts, has acquired the expertise needed for
the preservation of many kinds of artifacts across the whole museum field. A
section of their website is dedicated to museum conservation and has detailed
information on artifact care, current artifact research, and even a link to consult
with one of the conservators at the Smithsonian. All of this information is easily
accessible and informative to those needing an understanding of artifact care,
storage, and preservation. The J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angles has a
conservation institute that is world-renowned for their conservation efforts along
with developing new methods of preservation. The Getty Conservation Institute
website is a source of information for conservation and includes a link to free
publications that range from conservation case studies to material on air pollution
in museums, along with the institution’s current conservation projects. She
explains in detail the causes of deterioration for the majority of artifacts that are
held by museums along with how these pollutants migrate throughout the
museum.

Preservation of Museum Collections according to the National Park

Service from the Department of the Interior. The preservation and continued use
of a museum collection and its associated data depend on a park’s long-term
commitment to an ongoing conservation program. The primary goal of museum
object conservation is to preserve whatever still exists of the object as nearly as
possible in an unchanging state. In the National Park Service, this goal is achieved
by the ongoing activity of preventive conservation supplemented, when
necessary, by conservation treatment. Preventive conservation emphasizes non-
interventive actions to prevent damage to and minimize deterioration of a
museum object. Such actions include: Monitoring and recording levels of
environmental agents (e.g., light, relative humidity, temperature, and air
pollution) Inspecting and recording the condition of objects most especially
practicing proper handling, storage, exhibit, housekeeping, and packing and
shipping techniques. Incorporating needed information and procedures regarding
the museum collection in emergency management plans.

Preventive conservation is best implemented by the development of a

park-specific plan that identifies tasks, establishes schedules and costs, and
coordinates staff responsibilities in carrying out an ongoing program for the care
and maintenance of the museum collection. An effective preventive conservation
program will minimize the need for costly conservation treatment. Refer to the
NPS Museum Handbook, Part I (Rev 9/90), Chapter 3, for a detailed discussion of
preventive conservation. Conservation treatment is the interventive, hands-on
work of preserving the physical and/or the aesthetic condition of a museum
object. The two broad categories of interventive treatments are as follows:

Stabilization is a treatment action that is taken to increase the stability or

durability of an object when preventive conservation measures fail to decrease the
rate of deterioration to an acceptable level, or when an object has deteriorated to
the point where it is in danger of being completely lost.

Restoration is a treatment action that is taken in an attempt to bring an

object as close as possible to its original appearance, or to its appearance at a
particular time period, by removing accretions and subsequent additions, and/or
by replacing missing elements.

Interventive treatments must be fully documented and performed

according to the Code of Ethics and the Standards of Practice of the American
Institute for Conservation of Historic and Artistic Works. According to
professional ethics and Conservation of museum objects is a shared role between
the curator and the conservator. Mutual understanding and respect for each other’s
role and responsibilities to the collection are important. The curator is skilled in
the management, preservation, and use of the museum collection. Often, the
curator is a discipline or material culture specialist (e.g., archeology, history,
biology, fine arts, Civil War weapons, 19th-century furniture). The conservator is
skilled in the theoretical and practical aspects of preventive conservation and of
performing examination and conservation treatments of museum objects.

Most conservators specialize in specific classes of materials (e.g.,

paintings, furniture, paper, textiles, metals, ceramics and glass, photographs,
archeological or ethnographic objects, or natural history specimens).

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

This chapter presents the research design, research environment,

respondents of the study, data gathering instruments and techniques and data
treatment/analysis.

Research Design

In order to see the general picture of effects of poor practice in preserving

cultural artifacts to the visitors at People’s Museum, Bayombong Nueva Vizcaya.
This study used documentary analysis (written data) to access socio-demographic
profile and collect qualitative and quantitative data.

To access socio-demographic profile such as sex, age, address, and

whether they are working, nonworking or a student for the information related to
the answers that they will provide from the survey questioners. As a documentary
analysis study, it collected detailed and factual information to describe existing
phenomena and recommend change for the better. It allowed the respondents to
answer questions, describe the situation and their commotions toward the
situation and recommend things that are applicable on the current situation.

Research Environment

This study is conducted specifically in People’s Museum, Bayombong,

Nueva Vizcaya. It is where the artifacts and respondents are located. The said
place is not just a museum but a library where in it was the former capitol
building and was fully utilized in displaying Nueva Vizcaya’s Collections of
Artifacts. The “Glimmer and Light” it was the story where in the Vizcayano’s
were inspired and translated from the title Banaag at Sikat of the famous Filipino
novel written be Lope K. Santos, who served as Governor in the early years of the
provincial government, the museum exhibition wish to encapsulate some
highlights in the story of the people, the history and aspirations of the province of
Nueva Vizcaya.

collected from the written data that was used from documentary analysis (age,
address, sex, and status). All in all there are 20 persons that was able to accept to
be our dear respondents.

Data Gathering Instruments and Techniques

The instruments and techniques that was used and chosen is confidently
valid and reliable that was ensured and appropriate to gather and collect data. The
tool that was used is Questionnaire technique that is to be answered by the
respondents. Then the data to be collected from variety of persons from students
to workers and from teenagers to adults will now then considered as the general
data to be valid and reliable.

Data Treatment/Analysis

The data treatments provide the interpretation of each given data by the
survey questionnaires result from the respondents of the study. This study assured
that it is reliable and valid to the present and to the next generation.

As the result of this study, the respondents initiated that awareness of the
People’s Museum is not consistently familiar to the people. For the reason of their
awareness about the museum existence 65% out of 20 respondents answered that
they just passed by. 20 % of the data result is divided equally by “gossips” and

the artifacts are in good condition and 20% answered oppositely. In implementing
the usage of chemical substances in preservation 65% agreed and 35% disagreed.
60% recommended that in prolonging in preserving the artifacts unconditional
state they wanted that People’s Museum by the usage of chemical substances.

Present generation are affected on the poor practice of preserving the

artifacts which the future lies on it, 85% of the respondents agreed that poor
preservation can affect the future and 15% answered oppositely.

In our society, preservations are always applied on museums, 100%

answered yes that it is helpful with their specific reasons such as, it represents our
society, builds history, evidence of the past, helps the artifacts live longer, an
information related to our future and avoidance of extinction.

In regarding of the museum’s way of preserving, the result of the

respondents reaction; 15% are pitied, 15% are angry, sad, and irritated divided by
5% each, 55% are happy and the remaining 15% specified that their reaction is
normal and moderate.

In percentage, the museum’s average in preserving the artifacts estimating

the intuition of the respondents, the results found out that 1 answered for 10%, 2
respondents estimated for 11-25%, 7 person said that its 26-50%, 6 respondents
answered for 51-75%, and 4 person answered for 76-100% in total of 20
respondents.
 In avoiding the poor preservation regarding the artifacts, the solution
chosen by the respondents are stated in the questionnaires, 20% agreed for
supporting the museum program like attending exhibits, 10% for encouraging co-
students and co-workers to visit the museum, 15% agreed for carrying out a
seminar workshop teaching students about preservation rights, 15% agreed in
implementing the regulations correctly, 25% of the respondents agreed for
setting-up a CCTV to manage visitors’ actions and 15% agreed for setting date for
a cultural artifacts celebration every year to remind the people about the artifacts.

In regarding of security, the result of the data stated that 40% said that the
security are very strict and 60% answered the opposite.

individuals.
 CHAPTER V

SUMMARY, CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS

SUMMARY

The objective of this study is too determine the demographic profile of the
workers in terms of age, sex, address, and status, determining visitor’s profile in
terms of knowledge and times of visiting the People’s Museum at Bayombong
Nueva Vizcaya. It tends to discover the problems of preserving the processes and
security of the artifacts or cultural instruments. It inclines to find out the
awareness of people about the said museum and finds out how people view the
importance of the artifacts in connecting with the significant relationship of the
artifacts to the people. In addition, it is too established and implement some of the
solutions for the problems in preserving artifacts.
In using a Survey Questionnaire’s, we find out that most of the visitors
are students aging 17-18 years old,80% says that the artifacts are in good
condition and 65% agreed to use chemical substances in preserving the artifacts.
This research finds out that the effective way to increase the awareness of the
people about the presence of the museum is to carry out a seminar workshop
informing the people, as well as, encouraging co-students and co-workers, setting
up a CCTV to manage visitor’s actions in order to maintain the security and
supporting the museums program. In accordance with displaying the artifacts,
space aren’t enough to accommodate other cultural artifacts and instruments.
However, artifacts are not properly organize for the people to find out its position
easily. The survey results can become useful to preserve the artifacts in order to
make its life live longer which a big help in representing our own history that is
worth to be proud of.

CONCLUSION
In conclusion, the artifacts are in poor condition so it must be taken care of
with the usage of chemical substances and extra care. In addition its security was
rounded in low quality. So it really needs a security renovation and additional
security arrangement. Its blueprint is also a question for the space isn’t enough in
repertoire of the artifact.
It is concluded in the summary that the Museum which the artifacts are
accumulated needs more promotion and advertisement. It may not help the
artifacts preservation visibly but logically it really does. By the use of
advertisements and promotions it can voluntarily provide sponsors. And this
sponsors can provide additional artifacts and financial support. For the analysis of
the artifact it must be in long term preservation that let us connect with our
history, both our recent and our ancient past.

RECOMMENDATIONS
In recommendation the people around Bayombong Nueva Vizcaya should
attend the seminar workshop that the museum carried out and make them support
and participate every museum program. By participating, attending nor supporting
is a big help to have awareness of the museum that was built to accommodate
every cultural artifacts that represents the history of Novo Vizcayano’s which a
place that people of Vizcaya should know it. Museum contains every history that
a place or a city held and know. As one of the Novo Vizcayano’s we should be
the one who have the awareness of the museum before the tourist’s or visitors of
our place just like how the saying say “love yourself before loving someone”.
To the future researchers, we suggest that add additional information’s in
this research. And it is best if the People’s Museum expand the space for the
artifacts and make a seminar to inform every people to be updated about the
culture of Novo Vizcayano’s. The People Museum recommended that the readers
of this research to visit the museum and be informed for the Museum Escuela and
other workshop in order to preserve the artifacts and gain more knowledge. In
correlation to this study further studies for the improvement of this study is
recommended.
It is also recommended to carry the right practice in basic preservation
techniques. Implement the concept of conservation which includes both

some of the most dangerous to historic memorabilia.

deterioration of photographs, textiles and printed or handwritten
paper, furniture, etc.
o Temperature – Too high or too low a temperature can damage
rubber, wood, metal, etc. Do not store in sheds, attics and
basements.

textiles and parchment, and promotes rust on metal.
