Darwin Chambers' Archival Storage Features | Montreal, QC 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 precisely for a customer's requirements. When it comes to archival storage of invaluable media and documents, Darwin Chambers will get to know your needs to find the perfect features to preserve them. Our archival storage chambers and rooms are ideally suited for:

• Rare books and other paper documents: Books reactive to temperature and humidity changes, and should stay at consistent temperatures within the appropriate range. Sunlight, dust, insects, and other natural elements can all harm old books. Humidity of over 35%RH can lead to mold growth on paper. Archival storage with Darwin Chambers will ensure your books will not deteriorate.
• Photographs: Photographs must also be maintained at steady temperatures and away from outside impurities. While paper and plastic solutions exist 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 crack or warp in reaction to temperature or humidity fluctuations. Light and dust can also affect the paint.
• Films and microfiche: Films are vulnerable to a sort of decay called "vinegar syndrome" if stored inadequately. The Image Permanence Institute recommends storing specific kind of film at freezing or near-freezing temperatures, which which makes Darwin Chambers's flexible line of archival storage units the ideal fit for your film storing needs.

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 Montreal, QC can be customized 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 correctly preserved, but we can tack on that humidification capabilities for unconventional archival storage utilization.

In addition to maintaining a consistent temperature and keeping the objects free of mold, light, or water damage, our archival storage chambers in Montreal, QC will keep your documents safe from fires, pollutants, or any other non-natural occurrences. Each one our archival storage rooms and chambers are compliant with NFPA codes and standards, GSA regulations, and NARA Directive 1571.

Additionally, we install a personnel emergency alarm in every walk-in room, complete with a glow-in-the-dark antimicrobial pull cord that will trigger both an audible and visual alarm. We use LED lights that are much more energy efficient than fluorescent bulbs, so your document and film preservation will be as cost-effective as possible.
