NBS (National Bureau of Standards) Workshop: Environmental Control for Archival Records Storage, January 19-20, 1983

摘要

A summary of the January 19-20, 1983 National Bureau of Standards Workshop on Environmental Conditions for Archival Records Storage is presented that proposes criteria and addresses control of environmental conditions in spaces used for storage of paper-based archival records. The objectives of the Workshop were to explore rationale for establishing levels of air quality for archival storage and to review equipment technology regarding its capability to provide optimum environmental conditions for archival storage facilities. Methods of thermal and air quality control are discussed and recommendations made for performance evaluation of environmental conditioning systems. Monitoring and assessment procedures to evaluate performance of environmental conditioning systems and components are addressed.
