Dear Fellow Archivists,



My archive is currently facing the replacement of our temp control and 
humidification system. After numerous salespersons’ presentations, the 
maintenance supervisor and I have many questions, hence this message. Are 
any of you currently using a Liebert system, and are you satisfied with it? 
Has it been necessary to add vapor barriers to your interior walls to negate 
the absorption of humidity into them (in our case cement block walls). Have 
you found it necessary to take similar (vapor control) measures with the 
floors and ceilings? Has anyone found it necessary to add additional 
humidification, via a supplemental humidifier in the ducts, to boost the 
moisture content in your archive?



All insights will be gratefully appreciated.



Sincerely,



Jan Durecki, Archivist
