It is a big decision to gift something of sentimental value, such as an heirloom title, to be on our shelves. To provide the utmost transparency, we welcome you to see why our library is the perfect place for giving your title a life long home of preservation. And as part of our promise, services will always be free, no matter what the future holds. Bring this piece of mind with you as you are considering where to store your antique titles. We cannot wait to be a part of your story.
With tents that provide dust protection, humidity regulation and waterproofing, titles will find safe storage for their life within the library. Fireproof storage is currently in the works. If you're feeling generous and would like to donate to help prepare this part of our library, please send us an email.
Curator gloves are worn by anyone who touches one of our titles. This is a mandatory requirement to ensure the longevity of the piece itself, avoiding life-threatening damage such as oil stains, ink smudges, and foil removal.
All titles are placed within protective sleeves or cases prior to being put into their shared storage tents. This extra layer of protection ensures the titles won't aid in the degradation of other titles.
Like clockwork, titles are inspected on a schedule based on their admission date to the library, the condition the title was in when accepted to the library, and the titles it was stored beside. This ensures any and all titles have constant eyes on them to predict and study degradation, and potentially prevent it.
