Thanks for the example. $3k *once* for enough space to store quite a
bit of material shouldn't be a huge problem for a successful
professional (though some modestly successful artists would still find
that a big bite). (Or maybe once every five years, depending on how
productive they are :-) . )
That's a UL Class 350 1-hour rating. My understanding is that
photographic materials aren't safe at that temperature and humidity
level (350 degrees F, 85% humidity), and that the Class 125 or class 150
is necessary (so-called "media" safes, developed for floppies and
optical disks); but I can't find any authoritative source online saying
what they think is safe for photo materials. Do you have a good source
for what experts consider survivable? (My position seems to be commonly
repeated by random posters online, but I can't find anywhere that I take
seriously that either confirms or denies it.)
