Darwin Chambers’ Archival Storage Features | Minneapolis, MN Archival Storage

We work for many different fields, from insect rearing to pharmaceutical storage, and all of our units are made exactly for a customer’s requirements. With regards to archival storage of invaluable media and books, Darwin Chambers will work with you to find the perfect features to preserve them. Our archival storage chambers and rooms are ideal for:

• Old books and other paper documents: Books reactive to temperature and humidity changes, and should be maintained at consistent temperatures within the correct range. Sunlight, dust, insects, and other natural elements can all degrade 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 their present state.
• Photographs: Photographs must also remain at stable temperatures and will deteriorate if introduced to outside impurities. 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 split or warp when subjected to temperature or humidity variations. 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 known as “vinegar syndrome” if preserved improperly. The Image Permanence Institute advises storing specific types of film at freezing or near-freezing temperatures, which Darwin Chambers’s easily adapted line of archival storage units is more than capable of.

Generally, books, paper, and paintings are stored at 10°C (50°F), 30% RH, while film, photographs, and microfilm are kept at 1.7°C (35°F), 35% RH. However, our archival storage in Minneapolis, MN 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%. Humidification is rare for storing artifacts, but we can tack on that feature for unconventional archival storage implementations.

In addition to maintaining a stable temperature and keeping the objects free of dust, light, or water damage, our archival storage rooms in Minneapolis, MN will keep your items safe from fires, pollutants, or any other non-natural occurrences. 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, complete with 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 be as cost-effective as possible. Contact Darwin Chambers today at 877-783-6774 for archival storage chambers or rooms that will preserve your books, paintings, photographs, or films as long as necessary.
