Archival storage with Darwin Chambers will ensure your books remain in great condition.
• Photographs: Photographs must also be maintained at consistent temperatures and will deteriorate if exposed to outside pollutants. While there are paper and plastic cases that may protect photographs from mold and sunlight, both have their disadvantages.
• Paintings: Both wood and canvas paintings crack or bend in reaction to temperature or humidity changes. Light and dust can also affect the paint.
• Films and microfiche: Films are disposed to a sort of decay referred to as "vinegar syndrome" if preserved inadequately.
