Restoring Puerto Rican History After Hurricane Maria

 

Polygon document recovery solutions were put to the test after Hurricane Maria in 2017. Puerto Rican history was at stake from damage to the Instituto de Cultura Peurtorriqueña building, causing leaks, humidity, and mold.

Polygon’s document recovery center received nearly 2,000 boxes of documents from Puerto Rico in 2023. These valuable pieces of Puerto Rican history underwent moisture normalization, microbial neutralization, and surface cleaning.

Polygon solutions helped recover these documents through over 6,000 person-hours.
