A Little About Archival Quality

Internal Factors

• Binding

The various binding processes that are employed take the same care to negate acidity as the care of paper selection noted above.

External Factors - Production

• Gregath Printing Facility

Our printing plant is in a rural area with low air pollution.  While we are not a "white glove" facility, our employees are kept to a "clean hands" policy, which minimizes the amount of oils on the skin (guarding against acid transfer), as well as taking precautions to further lower particulates and chemicals in the air, in-house. Our physical plant is kept at an optimum temperature with a low relative humidity (down to 45%).

Don't forget as fuel prices rise and we turn to our computers more and more, to document.  Sometimes there is no substitute for a research trip.  Sometimes volunteers, such as the network at http://www.usgenweb.org can help.

Software: Anti-Virus
///////////////////////////////

Don't neglect your anti-virus program.  When prompted to download, don't put it off, but make it a priority to get it complete before doing a lot of work online (or installing new software).  Also, do full disk scans periodically.  This is in case a new virus slipped paste before the anti-virus could identify it.  The sweep will pick it up, hopefully before it does too much damage.
