Pro Book Cache regional facility in Wales

St. Nienowridge facility specifications

Located in the secure, temperate hills of Wales, our purpose-built facility offers optimal environmental stability. Away from high-risk flood zones and urban industrial pollution, our St. Nienowridge location ensures the physical longevity of every physical book in our care.

Our facility features independent seismic reinforcement, triple-redundant cooling loops, and dedicated laboratory spaces where professional conservators perform delicate manual repairs on historic papers, vellum, and exotic leather bindings.

The physical book intake audit

Every book received into our custody undergoes a rigorous, documented multi-step preparation and assessment process.

Spectroscopic fiber analysis

We test paper fibers and binding adhesives under precise light waves to identify acidity levels and wood-pulp composition.

Biological decontamination

Non-toxic vacuum freeze-drying and nitrogen-flushing processes eradicate mold spores and insect infestations safely.

Stress-free digital scanning

Using custom prism devices and gentle laser monitoring, pages are scanned without opening the spine past 90 degrees.

Sealed micro-chamber housing

Individual volumes are housed inside custom-molded, gas-permeable archival boxes featuring integrated active oxygen scavengers.
