When documents are no longer in regular circulation, but need to be stored for legal, historical or other purposes, they are said to be archived. When these are placed into a unique system for retrieval, they are classified in an archival filing system.

The challenges to doing archival filing yourself, whether in-house or in off-site self-storage, are:

1) Finding space, either by crowding existing space or leasing extra space.
2) Purchasing and set up of proper shelving that a) meets safety standards for anyone working around them, b) is designed specifically for holding document boxes, and c) does not interfere with security and fire equipment.
3) Purchasing of strong, document-specific, manageable boxes to hold the records and documents.
4) Protecting them from theft (this is also a privacy issue).
5) Meeting fire codes for your building (storing large amounts of paper in one area) and protecting them from fire, and therefore also from water damage if there is ever a fire.
6) Protecting them from flood or from dampness, mildew, etc.
7) Protecting them from insect and rodents.
8) Protecting them from temperature extremes that have a degrading effect on paper and other substances.
9) Managing them so that a document can be found when required.

The easiest, and often most cost-effective way to do archival filing is to contract with a document storage company that accomplishes archival filing professionally. Sometimes off-site self-storage units are tried as well, but a document storage company can do this service with greater cost effectiveness than self-storage units. And, it solves the issues outlined above. It provides this important service for all ranges of businesses, for government offices, for charities, and for specialists like doctors, dentists, lawyers, and accountants (including after they leave active practice).

Archival filing, rather than being an inconvenience for an office, becomes integrated into the way it conducts business when it uses a archive storage company.
