CARM2 proposal

In 1996, CAVAL constructed the first high-density, environmentally controlled library storage facility in Victoria, the CAVAL Archive and Research Materials Centre (CARM) This facility now holds nearly 1 million volumes of low-use print materials contributed by member libraries. Constant temperature and humidity controls ensure that material is preserved in ideal environmental storage conditions. The items have been contributed by the original libraries to CAVAL for long-term shared ownership and maintenance.

CARM 2 is a proposal to construct a second storage facility for low-use library materials adjacent to the existing CARM facility in order to take advantage of the available staffing and facilities management services; including collection management, deposit and retrieval services, and on-site digitisation and document delivery services.

In 2007, CAVAL has commissioned the following studies to support the development of CARM2:

  • Feasibility Study which forecasts future demand for storage over 20 years
  • Design brief for facility to be constructed adjacent to existing CARM store
  • Refine design brief and provide Cost Plan B and Schematic Design
  • Financial assessment of funding models

During September CAVAL began discussions with members on the way forward.

Janette Wright, CEO, CAVAL.
