Climate Considerations for Maryland Photo Preservation

Maryland's Mid-Atlantic location creates diverse preservation challenges:

Chesapeake Bay Humidity

High humidity from the Bay affects much of the state:

  • Maintain 30-50% relative humidity in storage areas
  • Use dehumidifiers year-round, especially in summer
  • Monitor basements and waterfront properties carefully
  • Seal photos in airtight containers near the water

Coastal Storm Preparation

Atlantic storms and nor'easters threaten the state:

  • Elevate photo storage above potential flood levels
  • Use waterproof containers during hurricane season
  • Keep emergency evacuation plan for precious items
  • Monitor weather alerts during storm season

Variable Regional Climate

From coastal to mountain climates across the state:

  • Eastern Shore: Salt air protection essential
  • Central Maryland: Humidity control critical
  • Western Maryland: Temperature stability important
  • Urban areas: Pollution protection necessary
