Hi Malcolm
We worked with a client whose building was being refurbished and, at their request, moved their archive to a Big Yellow store and managed it from there.
As the refurbishment project was coming to an end, the archive space they had – not unusually – was diminished and we moved the archives again into our premises in Mitcham.
We now run it successfully from there. I say successfully as it was the client themselves who copied me in on your other email regarding moving your archive and encouraged me to contact you.
I hope that’s not blowing our trumpet too much for the list.
Give me a call on my mobile if you would like to discuss it any further.

Subject: Archives in commercial storage
In the event that Tower Hamlets Local History Library and Archives may have to vacate the building in which it is currently housed, an option being considered is for the archives to be placed in commercial storage for an interim period of about three years with archives being made publicly available at a temporary reading room elsewhere. I would be very interested in hearing from anybody who has operated an archive service in such circumstances.
Thanks.
