Optimizing library film & art archive storage space

movable compact track shelvesMovable compact track shelves and wall hung racks provide library film and art archive storage that allows users optimal space to preserve valued collections. Experts have designed systems like these to accommodate varying facility needs over the years. A team who paid attention to detail enabled staff to create solutions that optimize space and protect historic items many times.

None comes to mind more than when the library and archives started to outgrow the building’s storage areas during the late 1990s. It motivated staff to approach government officials and request funds to rethink space use throughout the facility. Soon after receiving funding, staff asked local storage experts to help design solutions that would allow optimal space use.

Despite vertical supports in the building’s storage areas creating problems, experts worked to design the right library film and art archive storage system. Aware that it must optimize space, the end result included fixed and movable compact track shelves which slide open and closed to keep items safe in less space. Easy-to-use push-button controls facilitate carriage movement to create or eliminate safe, efficient access aisles. It ensures users maximize the available space to accommodate collection growth and preservation. Personnel avoids spending money on building restoration and packing materials to relocate valued items elsewhere.
