Abstract
The diffusion constants of sulfur dioxide in boxboards, commonly used to store archival documents, have been measured. For the most common boxes used by National Archives and Record Administration a different constant of about 0.001 cm<sup>2</sup>/sec was determined independent of gas concentration. These results are discussed in terms of a model of the microenvironment provided by these boxboards as used in archival storage. -- CAL
