Storage facilities constitute a core element in the structure of any cultural, scientific, and research institution. Addressing their functions, optimizing their design, and equipping them to ensure the proper preservation of objects, as well as preventing damage and deterioration, is of paramount importance. The significance of storage facilities lies in the fact that the majority of objects and artifacts within a collection are preserved in storage. Consequently, these spaces must meet high standards of conservation and security and require continuous care and monitoring.This article examines, as a pilot case, the textile repository of the Anthropological Research Institute, which houses a large volume of textiles belonging to diverse Iranian ethnic groups and cultures, representing a collection of exceptional value and importance. The current storage facility is unsuitable for the preservation of this collection and requires redesign and renovation in line with the specific vulnerabilities of textiles and international preventive conservation standards. The ultimate aim of this study is to improve the storage conditions of the ethnographic clothing collection through a newly designed system that complies with these standards.The research methodology relies on a review of library resources and the findings of similar projects. Although deterioration is inevitable, particularly in sensitive objects such as textiles, implementing appropriate storage strategies and environmental control systems can significantly prolong the lifespan of these invaluable objects and slow down the process of degradation.
