In answer to Anne Locker's request I'm replying on-list because the info
might be useful to other people.
The suppliers of the best quality short-term rceords storage boxes I have
used have been:
Datavault plc
5th Floor Block J
Tower Bridge Business Complex
100 Clements Road
London SE16 4ZB
and
I Waterman (Box Manufacturers)
10-30 Assembly Passage
Bow
LONDON E1 4UT
Watermans were the supplier I used when Archivist at London Transport -
this was 6 years ago so you will need to check their address details. At
that time they were a manufacturing firm of the old school, with a decent
"off-the-shelf" range but also willing to quote for one offs or special sizes.
Datavault were the firm used by Railtrack as their national contractor for
off-site storage and retrieval (they probably still are, but it's 18months
since I left and I have no up-to-date information on that score). They
also supply their own boxes, and these are again excellent quality for the
purpose.
Best wishes
