Environmental Monitoring

Appropriate environmental conditions in open and closed stacks, vaults, and other collections storage areas prevent damage and prolong the life of library holdings in all formats. Monitoring library environments is important for early detection of conditions that can damage collections.

The Weissman Preservation Center (Harvard University Library) and Conservation Services (Harvard College Library) can help select appropriate environmental monitoring devices, establish monitoring programs, and interpret findings. Resulting data can assist facilities managers in achieving appropriate environmental conditions for collections

These services are available free-of-charge to the Harvard University Library community.
