Darwin Chambers' Archival Storage Features | Houston, TX Archival Storage We design and manufacture walk-in rooms and environmental chambers for many different types of companies, from insect rearing to pharmaceutical storage, and all of our units are made exactly for a customer's requirements. In the matter of archival storage of priceless media and documents, Darwin Chambers will get to understand your needs to find the perfect features to preserve them. Our archival storage chambers and rooms are ideal for: Rare books and other paper documents: Books react strongly to temperature and humidity changes, and should remain at steady temperatures. Outside contaminants such as dust, sunlight, or insects can harm old books. Humidity of over 35%RH can lead to mold growth on paper. Archival storage with Darwin Chambers will ensure your books remain in their present state. Photographs: Photographs must also be kept at steady temperatures and will deteriorate if exposed to outside impurities. While paper and plastic solutions exist that may protect photographs from insects and sunlight, there are downsides to both. Paintings: Both panel paintings and canvas paintings crack or misshape when subjected to temperature or humidity changes. Light and dust can also damage paint at the molecular level, which causes visible changes. Films and microfiche: Films are disposed to a type of decay called "vinegar syndrome" if stored inadequately. The Image Permanence Institute suggests storing certain sorts of film at freezing or near-freezing temperatures, which Darwin Chambers's flexible line of archival storage units is more than capable of. Generally, books, paper, and paintings are kept at 10°C (50°F), 30% RH, while film, photographs, and microfilm are stored at 1.7°C (35°F), 35% RH. Even so, our archival storage in Houston, TX can be calibrated to temperature control between 0°C to 21°C (32°F to 70°F). Our archival storage units have precise temperature control within ±0.2ºC and humidity control to within ±1%. Humidification is rare for storing media, but we can tack on that humidification capabilities for atypical archival storage applications. In addition to maintaining a consistent temperature and keeping the objects free of dust, light, or water damage, our archival storage chambers and rooms in Houston, TX will keep your artifacts safe from fires, pollutants, or other man-made threats. All of our archival storage rooms and chambers are manufactured in accordance with NFPA codes and standards, GSA regulations, and NARA Directive 1571. Furthermore, 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 use much less energy than fluorescent bulbs, so your artifact preservation will also be great for your bottom line.
