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

We work for a variety of different types of businesses, from insect rearing to pharmaceutical storage, and all of our units are made precisely for a client's requirements. In the matter of archival storage of invaluable media and documents, Darwin Chambers will get to understand your needs to find the perfect configurations to preserve them. Our archival storage chambers and rooms are perfect for:

Rare books and other paper documents: Books easily damaged due to temperature and humidity changes, and should stay at stable temperatures. Outside impurities such as dust, sunlight, or insects can harm old books. Humidity of more than 35%RH can cause mold growth on paper. Archival storage with Darwin Chambers will ensure your books will not deteriorate.
Photographs: Photographs must also remain at stable temperatures and will deteriorate if exposed to outside impurities. While paper and plastic solutions exist that may protect photographs from grime and sunlight, an archival storage chamber is the only way to guarantee that they will not be damaged.
Paintings: Both wood and canvas paintings crack or bend when subjected to temperature or humidity fluctuations. Light and dust can also affect the paint.
Films and microfiche: Films are vulnerable to a kind of decay known as "vinegar syndrome" if stored inadequately. The Image Permanence Institute advises storing specific kind of film at freezing or near-freezing temperatures, which Darwin Chambers's versatile line of archival storage units is more than capable of.

The standard is to keep 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 artifacts do not require humidification to be appropriately preserved, but we can tack on that feature for unusual archival storage implementations.

Beyond keeping a consistent temperature and keeping the objects safe from mold, light, or water damage, our archival storage chambers in Charleston, SC will keep your items safe from fires, pollutants, or any other non-natural occurrences. All of our archival storage rooms and chambers are compliant with NFPA codes and standards, GSA regulations, and NARA Directive 1571.

Furthermore, we install a personnel emergency alarm in every walk-in room, with a glow-in-the-dark antimicrobial pull cord that will trigger both an audible and visual alarm. Our units also come with LED lights that use much less energy than fluorescent bulbs, so your archival storage system will also be great for your bottom line. Contact Darwin Chambers today at 877-783-6774 for archival storage chambers or rooms that will preserve your items as long as necessary.
