> Hello,
> The Hornby Island Community Archives is about to build a small building to 
> house the archive collection plus office and public research space. 
> Needless to say our budget it small and our plans modest!
>
> I am wondering what other small communities have built new archives 
> buildings?  I would love to benefit from their experience and advice.  Any 
> information on building for the proper care of a collection would be 
> valuable.  I am aware of the principles of climate control etc - but would 
> like to know exactly how to accomplish the requirements in a modest low 
> tech way.

> Any information would be greatly appreciated.
