The Pennsylvania Office of Commonwealth Libraries, in partnership with LYRASIS, received an Institute of Museum and Library Services National Leadership Grant to research environmental conditions and improvements to their Rare Collections Library facility. In addition, the project is working with other cultural heritage organizations in Pennsylvania to test and monitor their collections environments.
The results of this groundbreaking study are in, and now you have the opportunity to join your peers, and learn firsthand how environmental conditions and paper degradation affect rare collections. Research results also include important findings on energy efficiency and cost savings through environmental controls.
