Darwin Chambers’ Archival Storage Features | Charleston, SC Archival Storage

We design and manufacture walk-in rooms and environmental chambers for a variety of different types of businesses, from insect rearing to pharmaceutical storage, and all of our units are made uniquely for a client’s needs. In the matter of archival storage of priceless media and artifacts, Darwin Chambers will get to know your needs to find the perfect configurations to preserve them. Our archival storage chambers and rooms are perfectly suited for:

• Old books and other paper documents: Books easily damaged due to temperature and humidity changes, and should remain at steady temperatures. Sunlight, dust, insects, and other natural elements can all harm old books. Humidity of more than 35%RH can result in mold growth on paper. Archival storage with Darwin Chambers will ensure your books remain in great condition.
• Photographs: Photographs must also be kept at consistent temperatures and will deteriorate if introduced to outside impurities. While there are paper and plastic cases that may protect photographs from mold and sunlight, an archival storage chamber is the only way to guarantee that they will not be damaged.
• Paintings: Both wood and canvas paintings split or warp when subjected to temperature or humidity shifts. Light and dust can also damage the paint.
• Films and microfiche: Films are susceptible to a kind of decay referred to as “vinegar syndrome” if stored inadequately. The Image Permanence Institute advises storing certain sorts of film at freezing or near-freezing temperatures, which Darwin Chambers’s easily adapted line of archival storage units is more than capable of.

The standard is to preserve books, paper, and paintings at 10°C (50°F), 30% RH, while film, photographs, and microfilm are preserved at 1.7°C (35°F), 35% RH. However, our archival storage in Charleston, SC can be calibrated to temperature control between 0°C to 21°C (32°F to 70°F)with an accuracy within ±0.2ºC and humidity control to within ±1%. Most documents and films do not need humidification to be correctly preserved, but we can add that humidification systems for atypical archival storage implementations.

Besides maintaining a stable temperature and keeping the objects free of dust, light, or water damage, our archival storage rooms in Charleston, SC will keep your items safe from fires, pollutants, or other man-made risks. Each one our archival storage rooms and chambers are manufactured in accordance with NFPA codes and standards, GSA regulations, and NARA Directive 1571.

Additionally, all of our walk-in rooms come with a personnel emergency alarm, complete with a glow-in-the-dark antimicrobial pull cord that will set off both an audible and visual alarm. Our units also come with LED lights that give off less radiant heat and more light with less energy than fluorescent bulbs, so your media preservation will also be great for your bottom line.
