Enhancing Environmental Conditions for the National Library of Puerto Rico
A preservation assessment and the purchase of environmental monitors for a diverse collection of books on the history and culture of Puerto Rico, including significant sixteenth-century volumes. Located in an area declared a disaster zone after Hurricane Maria in 2017, the collection suffered considerably from inconsistent electricity and climate control in the aftermath of the storm. Conservation work has since mitigated the mold damage, but reliable environmental monitors and dehumidifiers have yet to be installed.
