***Is it too much to ask that you look around and see what kind of
building
you're in? Obviously it is not a short-term problem, though in some cases
it
might be. Most archives cannot choose what kind of buildings they go
into -- the
LoC's big move to Culpeper being a very recent exception -- and have to
make
do with some second-hand structure not built for that purpose.***For the
years I was curator of the recordings archive at the University of Texas
the collection what housed (and still might be) in a building that was
constructedover a natural spring. Right next to the shelves we had a sump
pump installed...after the third time the floor flooded. I tried for over
20 years to get some better space, bKarl
I'm in a frame house, built c.1869...along with about 55,000 78's and one
ecru cat!
So far, the 27.5 tons of shellac seem to have had no noticeable effect on
the
structure (nor the cat...!?). My only worry is fire...?!
