Reddit reviews Exhibit Labels: An Interpretive Approach

For exhibit labels (text and graphics that accompany exhibits), try Serrell's Exhibit Labels. ADA, or your local equivalent, is either required or strongly advised; beyond that The Smithsonian has published a guide for Accessible Exhibition Design.

For environmental control for collection care, it depends on multiple factors, especially the type of collections housed. For example, The Art Collector's Handbook by Rozell works best for general art objects, while you would probably want to read something like Ogden's Caring for American Indian Objects for objects of similar materials and make. I've seen Nitrate Won't Wait by Slide, and A Light Affliction by Binder on the shelves of my friend who works in film preservation. Otherwise, as far as I know, there aren't any "standards" like the CE or ANSI for collections preservation.

Hope this helps.
