A few years ago I visited the American Mountaineering Club in Golden, CO. Spent some time in the archival library. Climate, humidity and fire control are very important for long term preservation of our important work. There is indeed an art and science to archives, and the librarian there would be glad to discuss this with anyone. I took lots of notes hopefully of use in planning CRF's new library at Hamilton Valley. I think the librarian had a masters degree in archiving material.
