Even in the world of digital storage, data archiving vast numbers of documents, paper and individual items is still a vital requirement for many organisations. There are a number of considerations when it comes to designing the most effective archive storage solutions.
Some important considerations:
What needs to be stored? - books, deeds, births, death records, marriage records, wills, historical documents or a combination of them all?
What are the access requirements? - Is it long term storage, or do you require frequent access?
Who needs to access items? - A team of people, the public or a combination of the two?
Where is the archive situated? - Is it in a deep archive repository in an industrial off site location? Is it in a basement of a central bank or government building? Or is it located in a local area, such as a town hall or council building?
Are their unique circumstances? - Are the items being stored have temperature or lighting sensitivities?
Will the archive continue to grow or is it only restricted access requirements (with a considerable number of security implications)?
