Aerial photography marking historic events from across the globe has been preserved for posterity thanks to a tailored solution from Monmouth Scientific.
The National Collection of Aerial Photography (NCAP) is a vast repository, housing millions of images, with the primary objective of safeguarding records for future generations.
Facing significant conservation challenges, Digital Imaging Manager Alan Potts sought a solution to ensure a pristine environment for NCAP's collection as it transitioned to a modern facility in Edinburgh.
Monmouth Scientific provided a tailored approach, introducing the Recirculating Fume Cupboard to safely handle deteriorated photographic prints affected by mould and film archives susceptible to acetic acid emissions.
The company’s Circulaire CTPro1800, with its ductless design, offered flexibility in installation and ensured clean air within the workspace. This not only enhanced operational efficiency but also reduced costs and promoted sustainability.
By implementing advanced preservation techniques and equipment, NCAP can prioritise the monumental task of conserving aerial records for posterity, ensuring a rich legacy of world events captured from above.
