Re: [ARSCLIST] Temperature Requirements for CDs and digital media
Christina,
You should download the NIST Special Report - Care and Handling Guide for the Preservation of CDs and DVDs (see: http://www.itl.nist.gov/div895/carefordisc/
Pg. 16 gives you a chart and detailed info on the requirements.

Subject: [ARSCLIST] Temperature Requirements for CDs and digital media
Can anyone tell me what, if any optimal conditions are required for CDs
and digital media? I know there are specific temperature requirements
for magnetic media and film but I don't know if there are any conclusive
recommendations for digital formats. Is there an answer to this
question?
