PUBLIC RECORDS

Ensuring protection and access for records in the public domain

Public sector agencies are responsible for maintaining permanent records in the public domain, while also providing access to them. Often these records have suffered damage from years of improper storage and normal wear and tear. Iron Mountain's public records solutions allow public sector bodies to properly store and preserve original hard copy records in BS5454 vaults. We can also ensure their future through digital imaging and conversion to new archival media.

Safeguarding historical documents

Historical documents reflect the roots and culture of an organisation or a period in history - and have considerable value. These records have legal, historical, or even cultural significance, and are often irreplaceable. Iron Mountain provides secure, environmentally sensitive protection for historical documents.

Our image-on-demand services allow access to a document's content while protecting the original. Low-temperature and low-humidity environments extend the life of deteriorated documents. Media conversion services provide renewed access to obsolete magnetic media formats.
