What do you do to preserve your Tiki? - Collecting Tiki

I have a Derek poster, some menus, and other empheria and was worred about sun damage and fading. So, I replaced all of the frame glass with UV-protecting museum glass. I've also made sure all of the mats and other materials are acid free. Some of my ceramics (both old and new) have paper tags, and I haven't decided if and how to best preserve/protect them, but I am working on it. Does anybody else go to any extraordinary lengths to restore and/or preserve their items? Ceramics seem pretty straightforward. But a lot of people collect wood, paper, and other items that may be vulnerable to wear, wether, and fading.
