UV&S is recognized as a leader in movie film storage for the motion picture and entertainment industry. We are a proud member of the Association of Moving Image Archivists (AMIA – ‘an international nonprofit association dedicated to the preservation and use of moving image media’). Our secure underground and above ground solutions meet the needs of multiple studios around the world. Movie Film storage services include climate controlled vaults, refrigerated storage, inspection and cataloging services, same day retrieval, same day shipping, and refrigerated transportation services. Decades ago, film and television studios recognized our unique storage solution in Hutchinson. The naturally cool and dry atmosphere, the distance from natural disaster and metropolitan exposure, and the location 58 floors below ground, were ideal for long term archiving of movie film. Still true today, we have three mine locations in Kansas, Missouri and Kentucky that are safe from anything that challenges asset protection at surface level. This could include seismic activity, fires and intrusion. We also have facilities in the United Kingdom to meet the needs of the film industry. We offer multiple vault solutions and can provide the ideal environment above ground for movie and film storage. Read more about our above ground storage solutions here.
