When it comes to archival storage of priceless media and artifacts, Darwin Chambers will get to understand your needs to find the perfect features to preserve them. Our archival storage chambers and rooms are ideal for: Old books and other paper documents: Books are sensitive to temperature and humidity changes, and should remain at consistent temperatures within the appropriate range. Outside impurities such as dust, sunlight, or insects can damage 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 remain at stable temperatures and will deteriorate if exposed to outside pollutants. While paper and plastic solutions exist that may protect photographs from dust and sunlight, there are downsides to both. Paintings: Both panel paintings and canvas paintings split or bend in response to temperature or humidity fluctuations. Light and dust can also damage the paint. Films and microfiche: Films are disposed to a type of decay known as "vinegar syndrome" if stored inadequately. The Image Permanence Institute endorses 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. Even so, our archival storage in Vancouver, BC 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 necessitate humidification to be appropriately preserved, but we can tack on that humidification systems for unconventional archival storage uses.
