Temperature & Humidity Monitoring for Libraries
Preserve history and protect special collections.
Wireless 24/7 monitoring of temperature and relative humidity inside reading rooms, vaults, and archival storage. Real-time alerts and permanent cloud records keep rare books, manuscripts, and microfilm safe—without drilling into historic walls or burdening your IT department.
Complete peace of mind for the collections that define your institution.
Preserve Rare Assets
Maintain strict microclimates to prevent paper degradation, mold growth, and binding damage in special collections and rare book vaults.
Real-Time Excursion Alerts
Temperature or humidity drifts outside your thresholds? Preservation librarians and facilities teams get notified instantly via phone, email, or text.
IT-Friendly & Secure
Our LoRaWAN gateway connects without opening firewall ports or burdening municipal and university Wi-Fi networks, making IT approval a breeze.
One wireless system, from the reading room to the archival vault.
CORIS sensors measure temperature and relative humidity inside reading rooms, stacks, and archival storage. When readings move outside your predefined thresholds, our 24-hour cloud-based monitor sends real-time alerts to library personnel so they can act before any damage is done.
Reading Rooms & Vaults
Discreet, battery-powered sensors track temperature and relative humidity inside display cases and across stacks—so subtle drift never goes unnoticed.
LoRaWAN Penetration
Long-range wireless punches through thick masonry, concrete, and steel vaults found in historic library buildings where Wi-Fi degrades.
Permanent Cloud Records
Every reading is stored permanently in the cloud, giving you the audit-ready trend data required for preservation grants and insurance compliance.
Protection for every kind of collection.
Monitoring For
Rare Books & Special Collections
Temperature swings, humidity spikes, and light exposure silently destroy vellum, leather bindings, and paper. Real-time sensors give librarians the confidence that priceless volumes are safe from environmental degradation.
- Track temp and RH inside specific vaults
- Detect HVAC drift before mold conditions occur
- Maintain strict microclimates for delicate materials
- Monitor lux/light levels to prevent UV and visible light damage on sensitive ink and paper.
Monitoring For
Film, Microfilm & Photo Archives
Photographic and film archives require highly specialized cold storage environments to prevent “vinegar syndrome” and degradation. CORIS monitors these specialized sub-freezing zones flawlessly.
- Continuous monitoring for cold-storage vaults
- Alert escalation tuned to weekend and overnight shifts
- One dashboard for collections and facilities
Monitoring For
Facilities & Historic Building Protection
Water from an aging roof or a burst pipe can threaten an entire collection. Leak and door sensors round out a complete environmental safety net for the building itself.
- Leak detection in basements and near plumbing
- Monitor aging HVAC performance
- Door open sensors for restricted-access vaults
“Every morning, one of the first things I do when I get up is pop on CORIS. It’s that absolute peace of mind.”
— Tim White, Director of Research & Collections
IT-friendly, customizable, and fast to deploy.
Zero IT Friction
Connects securely without tapping into public patron Wi-Fi or requiring complex firewall exceptions.
Customizable Escalation
Three-tiered alert escalation notifies the right staff by severity and time of day via email, phone, or text.
Deploy in a Day
DIY installation means no hardwiring. Place the sensors, plug in the gateway, and start logging data.
Build a complete preservation safety net.
Water Leak Detection
Catch leaks from aging plumbing or roof penetrations before water reaches the stacks.
Door Open Sensors
Know immediately if a restricted vault or climate-controlled room is left ajar.
Lux & Light Sensors
Track cumulative light exposure in reading rooms and display cases to ensure light-sensitive manuscripts are never over-exposed.
Automated Reporting
Generate continuous environmental logs easily to support grant applications and accreditation.
Don’t wait for damage to take action.
