Darwin Chambers’ Archival Storage Features | Charlotte, NC Archival Storage

We work for a variety of different industries, from insect rearing to pharmaceutical storage, and all of our units are made specifically for a customer’s needs. When it comes to archival storage of invaluable media and books, Darwin Chambers will work with you to find the perfect configurations to preserve them. Our archival storage chambers and rooms are ideal for:

• Old books and other paper documents: Books are sensitive to temperature and humidity changes, and should remain at consistent temperatures within the correct range. Outside impurities such as dust, sunlight, or insects can degrade old books. Humidity of over 35%RH can cause mold growth on paper. Archival storage with Darwin Chambers will ensure your books remain in their present state.
• Photographs: Photographs must also be maintained at consistent temperatures and will deteriorate if exposed to outside contaminants. While paper and plastic solutions exist that may protect photographs from grime and sunlight, there are downsides to both.
• Paintings: Both wood and canvas paintings crack or warp when subjected to temperature or humidity fluctuations. Light and dust can also damage the paint.
• Films and microfiche: Films are prone to a sort of decay known as “vinegar syndrome” if stored improperly. The Image Permanence Institute endorses storing specific kind of film at freezing or near-freezing temperatures, which Darwin Chambers’s flexible line of archival storage units is more than capable of.

The standard is to store books, paper, and paintings at 10°C (50°F), 30% RH, while film, photographs, and microfilm are stored at 1.7°C (35°F), 35% RH. However, our archival storage in Charlotte, NC can be calibrated to temperature control anywhere from 0°C to 21°C (32°F to 70°F)with a precision within ±0.2ºC and humidity control to within ±1%. Humidification is rare for storing artifacts, but we can add that humidification systems for unconventional archival storage implementations.

Besides keeping a stable environment and keeping the objects free of mold, light, or water damage, our archival storage chambers and rooms in Charlotte, NC will keep your artifacts safe from fires, pollutants, or other man-made threats. Each one our archival storage rooms and chambers adhere to NFPA codes and standards, GSA regulations, and NARA Directive 1571.

Furthermore, we install a personnel emergency alarm in every walk-in room, including a glow-in-the-dark antimicrobial pull cord that will set off both an audible and visual alarm. All of our units have LED lights that are much more energy efficient than fluorescent bulbs, so your archival storage system will also be great for your bottom line. Call Darwin Chambers today at 877-783-6774 to ensure that your items in Charlotte, NC are preserved as long as you need them to be.
