Subject: [MUSEUM-L] Recommendations for moving/storing collections during
construction/expansion
Hi to all museum folks in the Mid-Atlantic area!
The State of Maryland is planning to expand the Maryland Archaeological
Conservation Lab's curation wing sometime in the next four-five years. I am
beginning to research storage facilities that could house the collections during
construction. At present, we have roughly 8,000 cu ft of boxed collections and
6,000 cu ft of oversized objects. With an additional five years of growth, we
will more realistically be looking at moving and storing 10,000 cu ft of boxes
and 8,000 cu ft of oversized objects.
Has anyone had to move/temporarily store a collection of this size before? If
so, do you have any recommendations for storage facilities that could handle a
such a large collection? We are also exploring the possibility of on-site
storage at the museum, such as climate controlled trailers, which could be kept
at the museum (which may or may not reduce the cost). We may be able to handle
the large oversized objects on site (as many are large, several thousand pound
steam engine parts) and move the boxed collections to a storage facility.
Realistically, we would probably need to store the collections for one-two
years.
Any suggestions or recommendations would be most welcome.
Thank you!
Becky
