The new historical library for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints
not only 
needed storage systems to accommodate its 270,000 books, pamphlets, magazines, newspapers; 240,000 collections of original, unpublished records; 23,000 audiovisual items; 13,000 collections of photographs; and, 3.5 million patriarchal blessings, but it also needed these systems to overcome the unique challenges that the building structure itself presented.

14,000 rare and special collection books are housed in the Gettysburg College’s Musselman Library. To ensure preservation of these rare materials, they need to be stored in a stable environment- where temperature, humidity, and airflow are regulated. When the library wanted to consolidate storage to create space for collaborative and study areas in its Special Collections area, the needs of this rare collection required a unique solution.
Charlie Middleton of DSSI and Spacesaver worked together to create perforated shelves for Cantilever shelving systems. The perforated library book storage allows air to not only flow side to side but also up and down through the shelves—protecting the precious collection.
With a storage solution integrating these engineered-to-order (ETO) shelves into static and mobile shelving, the library was able to free up space for other uses without jeopardizing the integrity of the Special Collections.
