You will find it efficacious to remove all extraneous paper
products--acid free tissue paper, corrugated boxes and restrict the
storage to non-cellulosic as much as possible. Cellulose absorbs
moisture at one rate (fast) and desorbs it at another (much more
slowly). This makes a happy harborage for silverfish in a warm moist
climate.
