Storage Options

Our storage spaces are designed to protect what you value. You can store one item or an entire collection.  Long and short-terms storage plans are available. Guardian offers storage options to best fit the needs of our clients. Client visits are by appointment. Whether it is Guardian Managed Storage or a Private Vault, we are happy to work with you to customize a storage plan for your assets. Both options offer secure storage with strict environmental controls in accordance with the American Alliance of Museums standards. 

MANAGED STORAGE

Guardian Managed Storage is climate-controlled, secure within our facility, and accessible only by Guardian collections staff. Small or large, short term or long, we will work with you on your needs.

Managed Storage is a great option for clients that have just a few items or for clients that do not need access to their collections. Pricing is based on the cubic footprint of the wrapped objects. Contact us for pricing.

PRIVATE Vault

​Private Vaults are available for your exclusive personal use. Clients can access their vaults with an appointment. Vaults are available in many different sizes, and pricing is based on the square footage. Contact us for pricing.
