Storing records offsite, especially those that aren’t frequently accessed, is a great way to reclaim precious space onsite. Yet, juggling multiple storage locations brings its own set of unique challenges for archivists and records managers. Much like the many ways to perfect a casserole, there are countless ways to master the art of offsite records storage. Hannah Pryor will discuss the challenges her team faced and share insights and strategies for those dealing with non-permanent records stored off-site, including access, records transfers, and the annual destruction of eligible, non-permanent records. Jenna Stout will share her work to refine retrieval and disposal procedures, establish perimeters for eligible materials for offsite storage, and revise records retention schedules at the Saint Louis Art Museum Archives. Michael Barera will discuss the Milwaukee County Historical Society’s off-site storage facility and its preservation conditions, retrieval practice and policy, and the process of searching for a new off-site storage facility. Each method offers a distinct recipe for success, crafted to meet the diverse needs of our institutions.
