Morning, Linda-

What is the average RH in the room right now? What kind of HVAC do you
have? Does the collection consist of bound volume or loose sheets in
document boxes? You are right to be concerned about a humidifier in a
carpeted area.

Subject: humidifier for collection

I am trying to purchase a small humidifier for a collection  (about 100
linear feet of Records)  that is currently  housed in a  room with
carpet   I am concerned that some humidifiers releases  moisture  which
can cause mold and mildew on the carpet    and Can eventually  ruin the
Collection as well What  kind of humidifier  would you recommend for
such  Collection
