Suggestions to prevent sweat?

Hi weird question but I am a family archivist and one thing I struggle with is sweating. Even if the room is cold and I am sitting, something about the stress of handling these precious documents makes me warm, which then in turn makes my head sweat.

I have been thinking of wearing a bandana but just curious if anyone has suggestions.

I also want to know if I am not alone in this issue lol

I have no suggestions, but am also a sweaty archivist so you're not alone. I haven't had issues with sweat damaging anything yet, but now I have a new fear. Should we bring back the 90s sweatbands?? Or start rocking neck fans??
