Space Savers


The heart of the Collections area is the Space Saver system. Installed as part of the Home for History project, the Space Savers store photos, archives, and artifacts free from dust, light, and other potentially harmful effects. Each shelf in the Space Saver system is labeled so that an artifact can be quickly retrieved for exhibit or research needs. The row and shelf location of every artifact is tracked in the Collections database. Over the next few posts, we'll trace what happens to an artifact before it finds a home in the Space Saver.
