Movie Film Storage, Film Elements, and Sound Recordings

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.

Contact us to discuss your needs!

Refrigerated Storage

We offer refrigerated and dehumidified media vault storage for items that must be stored in a stable environment. Customized refrigeration vaults are available to fit your specific needs. We can offer more security and help reduce lease expense. Protect your film for decades to come by entrusting it to our team.

Prop and Costume Storage

A natural extension of our film and sound archiving services, we store props and costumes to keep valuable items out of harm’s way. Items can be stored underground or in our Prop Bay and Larger Assets storage. Archive items for the future or keep them with us for a short period of time.

Shipping and Refrigerated Transportation

Geographic separation is vital to securing your company’s precious resources. We offer same day retrieval, same day shipping, and one of the most efficient company-owned refrigerated truck fleets on the road. Compare local lease, storage and transport costs to ours: We beat both coasts, pennies on the dollar.

Inspection

Our experienced and Hollywood-trained staff can conduct periodic inspections of your collections while in storage. They can also inventory and re-box while in our secure vaults, eliminating third party personnel.

Cataloging Content

Improperly indexed I.P.’s, poorly catalogued reels, and lost production logs are unfortunately commonplace. Our staff can identify the elements in storage, enter information into a secure database, repackage them in standardized boxes, and place them back in storage.

Storage Planning Services

We work on-site with asset managers, archivists and librarians, cinematographers and directors to prioritize and coordinate transfer to secure storage. Our account executives will work with you to find the best solution for your specific needs.

Underground Storage

Regardless of weather or season topside, our three underground facilities maintain a naturally cool, dry storage environment deemed well-suited for film and sound archiving. Additional climate controls are available to meet your specifications, including refrigeration and dehumidification. Movie and television vaults are fully customizable, with no limit to space available. Whether you can fill a custom-designed 15,000 square foot private bay or a one reel slot, we will custom build to your requirement. The Hutchinson salt mine facility is tucked miles away from seismic activity, oceans, metropolitan areas or military installations, 650 ft deep within a solid salt formation that is 400 ft thick. Our limestone mine facilities in Kansas City and Louisville offer refrigerated storage, dock access, and closer proximity to metropolitan areas. All three locations are within one hour of a major airport, facilitating immediate retrievals to your studio or workplace.

OIL & GAS

Data tapes on shelf

Oil and Gas Storage

The oil and gas industry has come a long way since we first began storing geological maps in the early 1960’s. Core samples, well logs, seismic data tapes; we store it all for some of the biggest energy companies in the world. Oil and gas records are more like assets than records – tremendously valuable to exploration and production. Seismic maps are data intensive, requiring massive amounts of storage. UV&S offers three unique facilities for seismic data libraries, support data, business records, maps, and core samples. We offer same day retrieval, same day shipping, and a wholly-owned transportation fleet to meet your needs for fast, secure access.

For more than 50 years, national museums and private collectors alike have trusted UV&S for the protection of their cultural treasures. Our natural underground atmosphere keeps your items cool and dry and bar-coding and inventory technology ensure constant tracking.

Insurance Records Storage

Your business is to hedge against potential future loss. Our job is to protect your records and data from loss due to natural disaster, man-made disaster, theft and improper storage conditions. Insurance companies understandably generate a large volume of paper records and electronic data. Actuarial statistics and probability analysis are data intensive and must be preserved. Client contracts, riders, medical information, forms and payment information are subject to privacy concerns and industry legislation. They must be protected in a way that limits legal exposure and provides efficient access. UV&S can help you meet your insurance records storage and compliance needs.

BANK

Bank Records Management

Secure bank records management is essential to meeting your auditor and customer demands. Industry legislation, such as Gramm-Leach-Bliley ACT (GLB), the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX) and the Fair and Accurate Credit and Transactions Act (FACTA), combined with government regulation and oversight, create the need for a rigorous bank records management program that addresses securing private information, storing records according to an acceptable retention schedule and destroying information that has passed its retention date. At UV&S, we have served Fortune 500 companies and small community banks alike, since 1959. Our experienced staff, secure facilities and time-tested procedures are ready to help you meet those demands.
