Facilities
Location of the archive is in the old data vault located next to the dormitory. The
structure is a concrete and stone building designed to be fire and weather resistant. The interior consists of two rooms both of which have large doors with hermetic seals. The
dimensions of both rooms are approximately 3m by 4m. Each room has numbered
shelves that correspond to numbers in the archive database. The building is not
used for drying, sieving or grinding samples, temporary storage, or for any purpose other
than archiving of samples. It is recommended that all samples be stored in glass jars
because there is no heat or humidity control available at this time.
