Archival Storage Shipping Containers Specific projects and equipment might not necessitate space in a building or lab. Darwin Chambers has implemented multi-use shipping containers that can be used for media preservation, research, and other studies that can be environmentally controlled in our archival stability testing containers. We design and maintain custom shipping containers that can be used for reliable archival storage. If a storage walk-in or reach-in room is out of commission, waiting to be built, or you don't have space for it, these shipping containers are built to accommodate various archival materials at specific temperatures, humidity levels, light exposures, and more. Uses for Archival Storage Shipping Containers, Reach-Ins, and Rooms Archival storage containers, rooms, and reach-ins can support your research in a number of ways. This includes: Historical Documents: Archival storage chambers are used to store important historical documents, manuscripts, and records. Our mobile stability shipping containers maintain a stable temperature and humidity levels to prevent deterioration by environmental factors. Artwork: Museums and galleries use archival storage chambers to protect valuable artwork that includes paintings, sculptures, photographs, and other items from damage or deterioration caused by light, temperature fluctuations, and humidity. Film and Media Preservation: Film archives store motion picture films, photographs, and other media in these chambers to prevent deterioration from heat, moisture, and chemical reactions. Pharmaceutical and Chemical Samples: Pharmaceutical companies use archival storage chambers to store reference standards, stability samples, and other sensitive chemical compounds under precise conditions to ensure their longevity and reliability. Biological Specimens: Archival storage chambers are used in laboratories and research institutions to preserve biological specimens, including tissue samples, DNA, and other biological materials that require controlled environments. Photographs and Film Reels: To prevent deterioration from heat, moisture, and chemical reactions. Textiles and Fabrics: Archival stability chambers protect against mold, mildew, and damage by insects. Scientific and Biological Specimens: Used to preserve tissue samples, DNA, and other biological materials under controlled environments. Electronic Media: To store CDs, DVDs, and other digital media under conditions that prevent data loss and physical degradation. Medical Records: To ensure long-term preservation and integrity of sensitive medical information. Mineral and Geological Samples: To preserve integrity of geological and mineral specimens. Legal Documents: Built to protect legal records and other sensitive materials in a safe, controlled environment. Benefits of Archival Storage Shipping Containers Archival storage shipping containers offer a reliable and versatile solution for preserving valuable and sensitive materials. With their advanced climate control, security features, and portability, these containers ensure that your archives are protected and maintained in optimal conditions. Environmental Control: These chambers provide precise control over temperature, humidity, and light exposure, which are critical factors in preventing the degradation of sensitive materials. Protection from Contaminants: Archival storage chambers are designed to protect stored items from dust, pollutants, and biological contaminants such as mold and insects. Longevity of Materials: By maintaining stable conditions, archival storage chambers extend the life of stored items, preserving their condition and value over time. Security: These chambers offer secure storage solutions, protecting valuable and irreplaceable items from theft, damage, and unauthorized access. Monitoring and Data Logging: Advanced archival storage chambers can be equipped with monitoring systems and data loggers that continuously track environmental conditions. If an unwanted change in the shipping container occurs, you will be notified. Archival storage containment systems are essential for a wide range of institutions and organizations that need to preserve valuable and sensitive materials. This includes museums, libraries, and historical societies that safeguard cultural and historical artifacts; universities and research institutions that store scientific samples and research data; corporations that need to maintain critical business records and confidential documents; government agencies that archive legal documents and public records; and medical facilities that preserve biological specimens and patient records. By providing secure, climate-controlled environments, Darwin Chambers makes it easy to ensure the integrity of important data and archival materials.
