Re: specifications for storage of records,
The National Archives (PRO) has produced a best practice benchmark for the
storage of semi-current records, which can be accessed at
www.pro.gov.uk/recordsmanagement/standards . It looks at isues such as
security, protection against fire and water, environment, shelving & boxes,
and electronic records (it is mainly aimed at public record holding bodies
but the information has a wider relevance).
Hope this is useful,
Catherine
