Lack of space

Valuable archive and/or collection items are sometimes thrown away because of a lack of space.

  • A possible solution for this is to rent a warehouse or garage for your collection. A small portion of this cost could recuperated by re-using, recycling or renting these objects. Make sure you have a good overview of these items. If renting, draw up a contract.
  • You can also save space by cleaning up your archive and collections. This involves getting rid of duplicates, draft versions and harmful materials (such as plastic folders and staples), among other things.
  • Valuation and selection. Check which documents and objects you need and/or want to keep, and for how long. You can get rid of anything that doesn’t need to be kept for legal reasons and is no longer of any use to you.
  • Check whether certain parts of your archive could be transferred to a professional storage facility. You can find more information about this at A new storage place for your archive and collections.
