Darwin Chambers' Archival Storage Features | Pittsburgh, PA Archival Storage We work for a variety of different industries, from insect rearing to pharmaceutical storage, and all of our units are made precisely for a customer's needs. When it comes to archival storage of priceless media and documents, Darwin Chambers will work with you to find the perfect features to preserve them. Our archival storage chambers and rooms are perfectly suited for: Old books and other paper documents: Books easily damaged due to temperature and humidity changes, and should be kept at steady temperatures. Outside contaminants 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 kept at stable temperatures and will deteriorate if introduced to outside pollutants. While there are paper and plastic cases that may protect photographs from dust and sunlight, both have their disadvantages. Paintings: Both panel paintings and canvas paintings split or bend in response 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 susceptible to a kind of decay referred to as "vinegar syndrome" if stored incorrectly. The Image Permanence Institute recommends storing specific types 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 keep 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 Pittsburgh, PA can be calibrated to temperature control anywhere from 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 artifacts, but we can add that feature for unusual archival storage implementations. Beyond keeping a stable environment and keeping the objects free of dust, light, or water damage, our archival storage chambers in Pittsburgh, PA will keep your items safe from fires, pollutants, or any other non-natural occurrences. All of our archival storage rooms and chambers abide by 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 trigger both an audible and visual alarm. We use LED lights that are much more energy efficient than fluorescent bulbs, so your archival storage system will also be great for your bottom line.
