The Solander is a basswood-sided box with hinged top and a recessed lip to protect against dust, insects, and airborne contaminants. Basswood has a low resin content and good structural characteristics. The exterior of the box is covered in black <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecofibers.com\/product-arlington\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">archival book cloth<\/a> and the interior is lined with 100% cotton <a href=\"https:\/\/www.archivalmethods.com\/product\/bright-white-4ply-100-cotton-museum-board\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">4-Ply Museum Board<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The rigid wood sides allow for the use of metal latches to secure the lid in place, which helps when moving the box. The wood structure resists twisting or flexing when carrying large boxes, and makes them sturdy for stacking. The box is also equipped with a metal label holder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaking of high level protection, I came across <a href=\"https:\/\/peterharrington.co.uk\/blog\/the-importance-of-solander-book-boxes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">this blog post<\/a> that illustrated the effectiveness of Solander cases to protect rare books from water damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.archivalmethods.com\/product\/museum-cases\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"290\" data-src=\"https:\/\/blog.archivalmethods.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/12-023-Solander-Case-open-BLOG.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-22967 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.archivalmethods.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/12-023-Solander-Case-open-BLOG.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/blog.archivalmethods.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/12-023-Solander-Case-open-BLOG-600x174.jpg 600w, https:\/\/blog.archivalmethods.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/12-023-Solander-Case-open-BLOG-768x223.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1000px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1000\/290;\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Our Museum Solander Case opens to lie flat for easy removal of contents.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Development of the First Solander Box<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lindahall.org\/about\/news\/scientist-of-the-day\/daniel-solander\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Daniel Solander<\/a> (19 February 1733 \u2013 13 May 1782) is credited with creating this style of box which he used to protect books, manuscripts, drawings, and dried plant specimens.
