NISO TR01-1995 Environmental Guidelines for the Storage of Paper Records
Abstract: This technical report suggests environmental parameters that
influence the preservation of paper-based records in libraries and archives.
Storage parameters addressed include temperature, relative humidity, exposure
to light, gaseous contaminants, and particulates. Values and procedures for the
various parameters are recommended. An appendix provides information germane to
the development of environmental guidelines for storage with a technical
summary of information in the literature. A glossary is included.
