Most archives now want clean, ungloved hands to help prevent tearing of pages.

I've Got Nearly A Thousand Books On The Subject Of Antiques And Collectables All Piled One On Top Of Each Other Upstairs In My Bedrooms And Before Seeing This Video I Had No Idea Of Taking Care Of Them I Just Thought To Myself They Will Last Me Until I'm No Longer Here So Just Collect As Many As I Can And The Information When Needed Will Always Be There For Me To Be Able To Have The Space To Keep Them Would Take Some Doing So Right Now I Haven't Got A Clue Where They Are Going Plus They Are Heavy

Is it proper to preserve very old books inside Pelican cases at home? They have a safe quality type of plastic or resin "5 PP", a pressure equalization valve, they are watertight, dust proof. I may add an acid-free foam or 100 % cotton cloth to the bottom or around the books.

I have a collection of twenty century first printings that I keep stored in pluriball envelopes singularily. that protects them from light, heat, humidity and dust, but maybe it's not the right material because it doesn't allow transpiration ?

Very interesting, however, this goes a bit too far for my small private library of about 500 books, the most of which are not too valuable ... ;-))

Thanks for the video. I have a Holy Bible from 1826 and a Schirmer's Library of Musical Classic from 1893. Would you recommend storing an a safe with a saline absorbing pack? That's where they have been the past 30 years but the safe seems be humid.
