Microbiological treatment at the archive of Sants-Montjuïc
El fons era susceptible d’haver patit un atac microbiològic, pel que fou necessari un diagnòstic, un tractament preventiu i també curatiu de desinfecció. Es va fer una supervisió de les condicions climàtiques prèvies, durant el tractament, el trasllat i en el nou espai. Un cop finalitzada la desinfecció i trasllat, es van implementar protocols de mesura i control de les condicions ambientals i d’emmagatzematge per a garantir una llarga conservació de la documentació. El tractament es va fer sobre 1.200 capses d'arxiu, 125 carpetes de gran format amb cartells, 30 tubs amb plànols, 1.950 llibres, 185 obres emmarcades i 300 objectes i paquets embolicats.
