This record is concerned with the measurement of deterioration processes affecting historic sites. Temperature and relative humidity data were collected from sensors inside Mawson's Huts. The data are in the form of Excel spreadsheets that enable plotting of temperature and relative humidity variation at various locations. The Heard Island document available in pdf form is reproduced with the permission of the Papers and Proceedings of the Royal Society of Tasmania. The paper was published in the Heard Island volume by the Royal Society of Tasmania (GPO Box 1166M, Hobart 7001, Tasmania, Australia) from whom the entire volume is available for A$22; plus postage (A$2.45) for orders from within Australia and A$20; plus postage (A$6; in Asia and the Pacific and A$9; elsewhere; payment in Australian currency) for orders from beyond Australia.
