Archives and libraries.Document the preservation.

Continuous climate logging and alarms for rare books, manuscripts and sensitive paper archives.

Rows of shelved books and documents in an archive

Archives and libraries hold paper collections that deteriorate when temperature and humidity swing, often across reading rooms, stacks, and cold stores that each need documented, stable conditions. Lenders and grant bodies expect proof; conservators need early warning before bindings, film, or manuscripts are at risk.

Typical challenges

  • RH swings in stack areas: relative humidity is the first line of defence for paper, yet many stores are checked monthly at best.
  • Reading rooms versus storage: comfort for visitors must not compromise collection conditions nearby.
  • Cold storage for film and photographs: sub-room-temperature collections need dedicated, continuous logging.
  • HVAC reacting to weather guesswork: humidification and dehumidification without an outdoor reference over- or under-shoot.

How RoomAlyzer helps

RoomAlyzer Preservation delivers continuous RH logging for stacks, manuscript stores, and rare-book rooms with alerts before conditions leave preservation bands.

RoomAlyzer Indoor climate monitors reading rooms discreetly. Temperature loggers cover cold stores; an Outdoor sensor separates indoor trends from weather so HVAC responds to real need.

Smarter together: Continuous logging across public and storage zones gives conservators and facilities teams the same dataset for preservation decisions and daily operations.

Archive-grade monitoring should not require invasive installation. RoomAlyzer is wireless, discreet, and produces reports ready for lenders and insurers.
