Are you setting up or enlarging an archival storage area in your office or considering setting one up in off-site self-storage facility? Before you do, stop and consider another more valuable option. Check with a professional document storage company first. Click here to find an archive and file storage company nearest you.

Part of being a growing and successful business is having old business records, documents, and other artefacts that need to be stored for historical or legal purposes. This is called archive and file storage.

To set up an archive and file storage area, whether in-house or in off-site self-storage, there are a number of requirements:

1) Find space, either by crowding existing space or by leasing extra space.
2) Purchase and set up 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) Purchase strong, document-specific, manageable boxes to hold the records and documents.
4) Protect them from theft (this is also a privacy issue).
5) Meet fire codes for your building (storing large amounts of paper in one area) and protect them from fire, and therefore also from water damage if there is ever a fire.
6) Protect them from flood or from dampness, mildew, etc.
7) Protect them from insect and rodents.
8) Protect them from extreme temperatures that have a degrading effect on paper and other substances.
9) Manage them so that a document can be found when required.

The easiest, and often most cost-effective way to carry this out is to contract with a document storage company, one that does archive and file storage professionally. Sometimes offices will first try storing documents on their own, but a document storage company can do this work more cost effectively than you can in a self-storage unit. And, it overcomes the problems outlined above. Managed document storage provides this important service for every size of businesses, for government offices, for charities, and even professionals like doctors, dentists, lawyers, and accountants (including after retirement).

Archive and file storage, rather than being an inconvenience to a business or medical professional, becomes an integrated part of the way the office conducts business when it uses a document storage company.
