Secure Archive Environments

Ardington Archives currently has a total document storage capacity of over 100,000 boxes across three archive stores, together with our in-house argonite pods and secure vaults.

Our facilities are modern and purpose-built for storage. In addition, we have the option to expand our secure archive environments to increase total capacity.

Offering three levels of storage, our secure archive environments include the premium level BS 4971 compliant secure vaults, bespoke argonite pod fire suppression units, and the main secure archive stores where the bulk of the documents are housed. Many clients use a mix of these levels depending on the type of documents being stored. As part of our service, we can discuss with you and advise on the most appropriate archive level for your business needs.

 

Secure Vaults

Argonite Pods

Our secure vaults are built to BS4971 standards, offering an additional level of security, four-hour fire resistance, an internal argonite fire suppression system, and are temperature and humidity controlled.

Argonite Pods

Our unique storage pods not only offer an additional level of security over the standard secure archive stores, but also the reassurance offered by an internal argonite fire suppression system with four-hour fire resistance. 

Secure Archive Stores

Secure Record Storage

The three archive stores, which have a combined capacity of over 100,000 storage boxes, are the core of our archive storage business. Our secure archive stores are modern and purpose-built for record storage rather than adapted from general use. 

We offer unique, customised document scanning and storage solutions.

In our rapidly-evolving digital era, preserving our cultural and personal heritage has taken a revolutionary turn through heritage scanning. This transformative process involves digitising redords, documents and images, extending their life without causing any damage to the original items.
