The Division of Libraries, Archives and Museums of the Virgin Islands will purchase equipment and software to help build a systemwide, coordinated environmental monitoring program for its special collections and archives storage in St. Thomas and St. Croix. This system will help safeguard the manuscripts, rare books and publications, photographs and negatives, microfilm, Danish West Indian and early government records dating back to the early 1700s, maps, architectural drawings, video recordings, renderings, and photographs from deterioration caused by temperature and humidity fluctuations.
