What can I read about museums, indoor climate, and air pollution at other web sites?

Below is a list of links to papers or shorter texts about indoor air pollution problems in regard to museum or archive collections (some together with other related issues). All texts are found at other web-sites. Therefore I can not take any responsibility for the contents of these texts.

Please let me know if you find any of the links to be out-dated, or if you know of other papers which deserves a link from here: E-mail
