What is "Preservation Storage"?

Media preservation storage is the application of technology to extend the useful life of media assets and preserve their content for future use and exploitation. This is accomplished at Pacific Title Archives through the use of time proven methodology and techniques such as lowering the temperature and humidity levels to slow decay.

Rapid decay can occur whenever film has been stored improperly, subjected to high levels of heat or humidity, and/or improperly handled during processing or printing. Damage may also occur from too tight of a wind on a reel, too loose of a wind, disasters, water damage, Vinegar Syndrome, and a variety of other sources. Whatever the cause of the damage, we're here to help make things better.

Within our Preservation Storage umbrella we offer two types of long-term storage. The first and most popular with our clients is our cold vaults that are kept at a constant 45 degrees Fahrenheit, 25% Relative Humidity. The second option is subzero freezing where your film is literally frozen at minus 17 degrees Fahrenheit.

In both of these areas your film is carefully conditioned during the transition process by our experienced staff. Your film is inspected, tested for vinegar syndrome, repackaged, relabeled, and if necessary, treated with either Molecular Sieves ™ or chemical desiccants, and conditioned to lower both temperature and humidity levels.
