Archival storage is the practice of preserving and storing historical records and documents in a secure and organized manner. This can include physical documents, digital files, photographs, audio recordings, and other media. The goal of archival storage is to ensure the longevity and accessibility of valuable historical materials for future generations. Archivists often use specialized storage techniques and equipment to protect documents from damage, such as climate-controlled facilities, acid-free materials, and proper handling procedures. Digital archival storage is also becoming increasingly important, as more records are being created and stored electronically.
