Darwin Chambers’ Archival Storage Features | Montreal, QC Archival Storage

We design and manufacture walk-in rooms and environmental chambers for a variety of different fields, from insect rearing to pharmaceutical storage, and all of our units are made precisely for a customer’s requirements. With regards to archival storage of invaluable media and documents, Darwin Chambers will work with you to find the perfect features to preserve them. Our archival storage chambers and rooms are ideally suited for:

• Old books and other paper documents: Books easily damaged due to temperature and humidity changes, and should be maintained at steady temperatures. Sunlight, dust, insects, and other natural elements can all harm old books. Humidity of over 35%RH can result in mold growth on paper. Archival storage with Darwin Chambers will ensure your books will not deteriorate.
• Photographs: Photographs must also be maintained at consistent temperatures and away from outside impurities. While there are paper and plastic cases that may protect photographs from insects and sunlight, there are downsides to both.
• Paintings: Both wood and canvas paintings split or misshape in reaction to temperature or humidity shifts. Light and dust can also affect the paint.
• Films and microfiche: Films are disposed to a type of decay referred to as “vinegar syndrome” if stored improperly. The Image Permanence Institute suggests storing certain kind of film at freezing or near-freezing temperatures, which Darwin Chambers’s easily adapted line of archival storage units is more than capable of.

The standard is to preserve 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 are capable of remarkable 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%. Most media do not necessitate humidification to be appropriately preserved, but we can tack on that feature for atypical archival storage applications.

Besides maintaining a steady temperature and keeping the objects free of dust, light, or water damage, our archival storage rooms in Montreal, QC 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. Our units also come with LED lights that use much less energy than fluorescent bulbs, so your archival storage system will be as cost-effective as possible. Call Darwin Chambers today at 877-783-6774 for archival storage chambers or rooms that will preserve your artifacts as long as required.
