On Environmental Storage

One of the crucial parts of any document management center is a solid environmental storage program. Traditional document storage utilizes boxes and other containers to safely store paper documents and files. Each of the boxes are tagged with a bar code and then matched with a shelf location that has its own bar code.

Environmental storage focuses on less traditional media and information storage, namely x-ray film and computer tape. For these types of media, specific and controlled storage environments are required to assure they stay in pristine condition. I've discussed at length different variations of environmental storage. From film and video to climate controlled data vaults.
