> Hello Listserv,

> I am in need of some expert advice.
>
> We are planning on purchasing a frost-free freezer for the storage of our
> color and black/white negatives and color prints. The planned settings
> are about 30 degrees Fahrenheit and a relative humidity of 40%. My
> question concerns the control of the RH. I doubt a standard freezer unit
> purchased from Sears will have humidity control. If the RH is too high
> will lowering the temperature be enough to get the RH under control? Does
> anyone know about humidity control systems for freezer units?
>
> We will have the material in standard acid free boxes and in heavy-duty
> freezer bags. Is this enough to act as a humidity barrier?
>
> Any advice and information will be greatly appreciated.
