Controlling Humidity Means…
Preserving the Past for the Future
Museums, libraries and archives are vital to the continued protection of our heritage now and for future generations. Science has demonstrated that artifacts, paper, film and other historic items are damaged by improper environmental conditions. Our systems ensure the preservation and long-term safety of any items and artifacts placed in our controlled environments.
A well designed temperature and humidity control system, with proper monitoring system, ensures historic preservation of items.
Humidity Challenges for Collections
Preservation and protection is vital to the long term availability of the resources in your care. Institutions face ever tightening budgets and growing collections. Humidity control equipment and environment verification systems must be reliable and affordable.
But given the size and individual requirements between locations and even items within each collection space, it is difficult to tailor a one size fits all solution that meets all requirements. Buying a dehumidifier off the internet or direct from a manufacturer usually fails to take into account your specific and varied requirements and all too often the wrong solution is provided. This either wastes precious time and dollars or damages collections further due to a false sense of security for poorly under-designed systems or even over drying.
Protect the Items in Your Care
Uncontrolled moisture is a prevalent cause of deterioration in older and historic buildings and the collections and contents inside. Fluctuations causes the most damage, making them more dangerous than seasonal fluctuations. Turning systems off at night or weekends has the same negative impact on collections as if there was no climate-control. Temperature and humidity needs to be controlled 24 hours a day and 365 days a year.
Installing dehumidifiers and establishing an outside monitored conservation program allows for a not only a baseline evaluation of environmental conditions, but with continued ongoing periodic monitoring the ability to review and identify issues.
This monitored aspect allows for:
- The ability to take remediation measures before long-term and irreversible damage takes place to collections and/or structures.
- To give assurance to curators, directors, board members, patrons and loaning museums that collections are well protected from humidity and temperature related environmental dangers.
