Supporting Artifact Storage Facilities at Near Capacity
Storage solutions for preserving historical artifacts in limited spaces.
Methods of Conservation for Artifacts Storage
As collections expand, space constraints can hinder staff work areas and compromise environmental conditions for artifacts. This blog explores effective strategies and solutions for maximizing storage space, highlighting how Spacesaver storage systems can aid museums in preserving their heritage for future generations.
An Off-Site Facility to Keep Centuries of History On-Hand
Preserving history is an important task that doesn’t always take top priority until it is too late. For the State of Michigan’s Department of Natural Resources (DNR), the challenge of storing and preserving Michigan’s historical artifacts in an off-site facility was significant. The shift toward a more organized and space-efficient storage method speaks volumes to the transformation that Spacesaver’s innovative solutions can offer. Our local rep was able to help the Museum properly store centuries worth of artifacts within the same off-site facility by utilizing High-Density Mobile Systems with 4-Post shelving.

Maximize Artifacts Storage Space
Running out of available space, Blithewold Mansion, in Bristol, Rhode Island, faced a similar challenge, ultimately needing a better way to keep track of all of the materials being stored. Once the summer home of the affluent Van Wickle family, Blithewold Mansion has now been transformed to a local museum, accessible to the public, with museum storage for their ever-growing collection of artifacts.
