Is a fireproof filing cabinet the right storage for archival documents?

A fireproof filing cabinet is an excellent first line of defense for archival documents, but for true long-term archival preservation, fire protection is just one part of the equation. Archival best practices also require: acid-free folders and boxes, controlled temperature (60°F–70°F) and humidity (30%–50% RH), protection from light (UV causes paper degradation), and pest control. A fireproof cabinet in a climate-controlled room meets most archival requirements. For very long-term archival (decades to centuries), professional archival storage facilities are the gold standard. For most small organizations protecting records for 5–30 years, a quality fireproof cabinet in an air-conditioned office is very appropriate. FindOfficeFurniture.com — call 888-719-4960.
