Mobile compact library archive paper storage racks protect saving restoration costs
Four-post adjustable slide-out tray shelves and mobile compact racks provide library archive paper and plaque storage that saves users money and space. No one knows this better than university staff wanting an area secure enough to preserve odd-sized special collections, including dinnerware. Read on to learn how experts helped design affordable solutions that would allow the institution to keep valued items safe while maximizing space.
College and university libraries acting as repositories often must keep an institution’s archives and special collections safe to ensure proper documentation and preservation. Items of historical interest can range from valuable art and rare books to sporting event programming and more. Here, the college facility and staff needed experts’ help to design cost-effective systems that provide flexible, efficient space to keep items safe.
Compact mobile racks mounted to a carriage and floor rail system feature user-operated handles which rotate to provide safe, space-saving aisle access. Users have more productive space to accommodate collection growth and can still maintain proper preservation techniques. Closed rows rest in a smaller footprint to maximize the available space and have a small open gap to allow airflow. This keeps stored materials from deteriorating during storage, allowing items to have a longer lifespan while users save on restoration costs.
Cost-effective adjustable slide-out plaque storage tray shelves maximize space use
Due to budget constraints and because objects did not need the thorough protection that museum cabinets provide, staff decided to install specialized slide-out tray shelves. The components have full extension capabilities to provide ergonomic access, allowing researchers to avoid disturbing valued plagues’ and dishes’ integrity during viewing. Systems have doors with key locks that provide added security to prevent theft and damage that costs money to repair. Users can even raise or lower the trays without tools and make adjustments to accommodate collection growth and maximize the available space.
