Archival Storage

Rather than doing it yourself, you can store your archived documents in an environment that is safe, secure, and managed. Click here to find the commercial archival storage company in your city.

Documents are stored for a variety of reasons, even when they are out of circulation. When they are no longer or only rarely referenced, they are said to be placed into archival storage.

The problems faced by doing archival storage yourself, whether in-house or in off-site self-storage, are:
1) Space, either by crowding existing space or leasing extra space.
2) The purchase and set up of proper shelving that a) meets safety standards for anyone working around them, b) is designed specifically for the storage of document boxes, and c) will not interfere with security and fire systems.
3) The purchasing of strong, document-specific, manageable boxes to hold the records and documents.
4) Protection from theft (this is also a privacy issue).
5) Meeting fire codes for your building (storing large amounts of paper in one place) and protection from fire, and therefore also from water damage if there is ever a fire.
6) Protection from flood or from dampness, mildew, etc.
7) Protection from insect and rodents.
8) Protection from temperature extremes that have a degrading effect on paper and other substances.
9) Management of the archives so that a document can be found when required.

The easiest, and often most cost-effective way to do this is to contract with a document storage company that does archival storage professionally. Sometimes off-site self-storage units are tried first, but a document storage company can do this service more cost effectively than self-storage units. And, it solves the problems outlined above. It provides this important service for all sizes of businesses, for government offices, for charities, and for professionals like doctors, dentists, lawyers, and accountants (including after they retire).

Archival storage, rather than being an inconvenience for an office, becomes an integrated part of the way it conducts business when it uses a document storage company.
