The Preservation and Conservation Program's environmental monitoring program is currently employing the Climate Notebook software developed by the Image Permanence Institute. Begun in 2005, the program's first full year of data has been posted for the Rare Book and Manuscript Library's storage spaces. Expanded monitoring efforts for other units started from year 2006. The reports for current fiscal year range from July 1st, 2007 to May 2nd, 2008 for all locations except the Rare Book and Manuscript Library. Due to the mold outbreak occured at the Rare Book and Manuscript Library this February, the data will be regularly collected after the mold recovery project is completely done. Data for all other locations will still be updated at the beginning of each month.

Updated : the reports for the lower level of the RMBL vault have been updated on April 2nd.
