This planning proposal requests $20,671 to bring together an interdisciplinary team to review and evaluate current indoor climate conditions, heating and cooling equipment, and the building envelope of the University of Montana's Mansfield Library. The team will produce actionable recommendations for effective, sustainable and practical conservation measures to improve climate control and air filtration in storage areas holding the library’s archival and special collections materials.
