Museum Artifact Storage
The world's biggest time
capsule.
Every
year, news reports detail instances of natural disasters, substandard
storage conditions, fire, theft and vandalism. Much of the nation’s
collection of art
and artifacts rots in humid basements or hot warehouses, waiting for a pipe
to burst. Entire collections of art, artifacts, and documents
are lost or damaged.
Often, budget constraints force curators, registrars and directors
to make very uncomfortable choices.
Underground
Vaults & Storage can make sure a portion of your
artifact collection is always safe and accessible, no matter
what happens. For less cost than you may think.

Climate-Controlled
Underground Storage
Our premiere salt mine storage facility
is miles from any oceans, flood plains, hurricanes, earthquakes,
military centers, terrorism targets, or civil unrest. It
is buried 650 feet below tornados, high humidity, sweltering
temperatures, wildfires, blizzards, conventional weapons,
thieves and vandals –– within a 400 ft thick
salt formation. Its' natural underground atmosphere keeps
your items cool and dry – 65°F-70°F, 35%-40%
relative humidity, with no significant fluctuations. Additional
climate controls and filtration are available. It's called
forever storage. History proves no place is 100% safe: Yet
you won't find
any place
safer.
Two limestone mine facilities
offer drive-up dock access, and closer proximity to metropolitan
areas.
With no exposed roof, walls or floors,
access is severely limited and almost invisible. We use
security measures including biometric scans, redundant
security systems, videocameras, anonymous box identification,
background checks, airtight confidentiality procedures,
bank vault doors and more.
Barcoding and inventory technology ensure constant tracking.
We have more than 45
years of procedures and experience securing materials
for thousands of clients, large and small. |
