The national newspaper collection is moving on Friday from its home in Colindale to a new purpose built building in Yorkshire.

The new building will have a special low-oxygen storage area that will prevent fire. It will also feature rigid temperature and humidity controls to provide the optimum storage conditions for newspapers.

According to the British Library, the oxygen level in the building will be reduced from 21 percent to between 14-15 percent, which is low enough to stop a struck match from catching light.
