The Australian War Memorial uses Munters dehumidifiers of various
sizes. Model No. M50 sounds about the size you want. Munters
Australia have a scheme where they will lease dehumidifiers to
museums & archive (& businesses) in the event of emergencies or
disasters. Munters used to have an office in Huntingdon (+61 480
432243), although this information is several years old. Try them,
they may have a similar scheme to Munters Australia.
