Subject: Relative humidity control in microenvironments
How can I safely, accurately and consistently increase the humidity in our display cases? My understanding is that silica gel can be used to reduce the humidity in microenvironments, but I am not aware of a product or process to increase rH levels. The best alternative would be to make the humidity in the rest of the building meet the level desired in the display cases, but this is not an option at the moment. (It gets pretty dry inside with our extremely cold Wisconsin winters.) Thanks for any information, including names of suppliers, that you can provide, Caroline Gilderson-Duwe Preservation Dept.
