Archival Storage

It’s true that nothing lasts forever, but Filefax’s archive storage systems put time on your side when the goal is to preserve documentary materials for generations to come.

Rare books storage, diaries storage, newspapers storage, manuscripts storage, photography storage… regardless of media or format, Filefax offers an archive storage solution uniquely designed to protect and preserve irreplaceable and priceless treasures.

Case in point: the Eclipse Powered System™ – an innovation in Mobile Storage systems that sets the standard in archival storage. With an extensive menu of options, the highly configurable system provides any degree of archival protection needed. Popular features include:

• Programmable opening and closing to facilitate air circulation – or to deliver maximum and equal flow of fire-suppression agents
• Mobile carriages that ensure smooth acceleration and deceleration to minimize vibration
• Non-contact sensors to automatically control the distance between aisles to protect stored materials
• Perforated shelving, uprights and end-panels that allow for maximum airflow or facilitate the flow of water in the event of a fire
• Links to facility security systems to limit damage in a fire or flood
• Silicon gaskets to seal closed aisles
• Low-level, automatically controlled overhead lighting

Whether it’s Eclipsed Powered System or our Mechanical-Assist system, Spacesaver’s mobile shelving units incorporate coatings and components that meet strict archival storage protection standards.

Easily configure mobile storage systems with existing cabinets or shelving, or outfit them with smooth-gliding drawers, trays, flat files – even hermetically sealed cabinets with optional glass doors for convenient viewing of the collection.

For archives that don’t require the space-saving benefits of a mobile storage unit, consider Spacesaver static shelving systems – including widespan shelving – or our stand-alone museum-grade cabinetry with drawers (including flat-file drawers), and trays.
