About This Item
TS ISO 11799 addresses the physical and environmental requirements for repositories used to store archive and library materials over the long term. It looks at the siting, construction and renovation of the storage facility, together with the installation and equipment used inside and around the building. In other words, the standard is about the storage environment as a whole, not just shelving or boxes.
Storage environments and material types
From a general technical perspective, archive and library holdings may include paper records, photographs, film, magnetic media and other carriers with different preservation needs. Their deterioration is influenced by factors such as temperature, relative humidity, light, air pollutants, fire risk and water ingress. The scope of TS ISO 11799 includes repositories where mixed media may be stored together with paper-based materials, while also allowing separate areas or compartments to be created when specific archive materials need a controlled environment.
