The Canadian Conservation Institute published a technical bulletin, #23, in
2000 entitled: "Guidelines for Humidity and Temperature for Canadian
Archives" which deals authoritatively on the subject, as well as other
unstable media - the bulletin costs about $ 6.00 US and may be ordered
through their website www.cci-icc.gc.ca

  Hello!
      Does anyone know what a reasonable level of humidity is in
climate-controlled archives?  The contents consist mostly of wooden
furniture or paper documents. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
