Darwin Chambers' Archival Storage Features | Richmond, VA Archival Storage We work for numerous different types of businesses, from insect rearing to pharmaceutical storage, and all of our units are made precisely for a client's needs. With regards 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 perfect for: Rare books and other paper documents: Books easily damaged due to temperature and humidity changes, and should remain at consistent temperatures within the correct 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 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 wood and canvas paintings crack or misshape when subjected to temperature or humidity shifts. Light and dust can also damage paint at the molecular level, which causes visible changes. Films and microfiche: Films are prone to a kind of decay known as "vinegar syndrome" if stored improperly. The Image Permanence Institute recommends storing specific 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 preserved at 1.7°C (35°F), 35% RH. However, our archival storage in Richmond, VA 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 uncommon for storing artifacts, but we can add that humidification systems for unusual archival storage utilization.
