Oct 19, 2018 at 13:50 comment added Monica Cellio @Cyn from my conversation it sounded like this is a common problem, perhaps the norm unless you take extraordinary steps in humidity control (like museums do). We have scrolls that are kept wrapped up except when briefly opened to a few columns to be read one or a few times a week. They never get the chance to get aired out.

Oct 19, 2018 at 5:24 comment added Cyn Great info, thank you. Mold ugh. We're in a building over 100 years old so mold is already an issue (though we have only moderate humidity and don't get the must smell that DanF is dealing with). It was a large room with high ceilings and windows that open and we were running two air filters (both HEPA and carbon together). I own an industrial mask but didn't think to use it or any other.
