Frequently Asked Questions
How do I archive a physical document?

What are the different ways of archiving information?
Archiving can be done in a number of different ways, and often companies will opt for the one that is best suited and most convenient for their business. Some of the most popular ways of handling archived information include:
• On-site document archiving – many businesses have their own dedicated storage space for archived documentation. Sometimes they may choose a storage facility like ours for surplus document archiving, or they may opt to store the whole lot on-site. Although great for peace of mind, document archiving on your own premises can consume a lot of space and ensures that a proper archiving system must be in place and known by all to work.
• Off-site document archiving – many companies opt to use an archiving or storage company who can not only offer their skills and expertise, but can also provide around the clock security and a service which means you don’t have to maintain your documentation yourself.
• Digital document archiving – if your business produces huge amounts of paperwork, or you find that old paperwork needs revisiting regularly, you may opt for digital archiving. This process has many benefits but is also much more costly and time consuming to get started with.

How do I start archiving?
If you’re new to archiving it can be a pretty daunting task to face. The good news is that by following this simple step-by-step guide, you can begin archiving your documentation safely in no time.
1. Remove any unnecessary files – duplicate papers or documents which do not need to be kept should be purged. This will make the process more streamlined later on.
2. Date order – the dates of archived documents are incredibly important. All archival documents have ‘shelf lives’ and so you must ensure you are retaining documents properly and legally. You should contact a records management partner for your sector for specific expert advice.
3. Obtain appropriate storage space – archived documentation must be stored safely as to ensure it cannot easily be accessed by unauthorised people. Physical documentation is of course more vulnerable to damages and so should be kept in appropriate storage boxes, and in a secure facility.
4. Easily accessible to authorised personnel – whilst it is important that your documentation is safe from unauthorised access, you need to be able to access them as and when required. Here at The Storage Team, you get unlimited access to archived documentation stored with us.
