Secure Archive Storage

For thirty years clients have relied on History Associates to appraise, arrange, describe, re-house, and service their archival records at their sites. If your own archive document storage facilities have limitations, our archives storage facility in Rockville, Maryland enables us to provide you with all of these services at our site as well.

We can help you solve critical archival storage challenges:

 

  • Collections of documents, photographs, electronic records, and artifacts that are deteriorating due to improper storage
  • Having to store information and artifacts in space that could be put to more efficient use
  • Valuable documents, photographs, and artifacts scattered in several facilities without any coordinated maintenance and oversight
  • Ability to locate materials in a timely and efficient manner

 

Our state-of-the-art archival storage facility is part of our custom-designed headquarters. This secure and environmentally controlled facility can meet all of your archival storage requirements.
