Archival Flat File

Capable of storing various flat items, Spacesaver archival flat file storage cabinets provide secure protection and enduring value. With stainless steel tracks and plated rollers, the cabinet’s drawers operate smoothly day after day, year after year. As with all our museum storage cabinets, a non-off-gassing powder coat paint finish provides durability and a clean appearance.

  • Saving Collections, Saving Space

  • Learn how this Ivy League institution utilized our Preservation Cabinets on High-Density Mobile Storage systems to create a space that is functional, beautiful, and provides a hands-on learning environment for tomorrow's curators.

  • Museum Drawers in 4-Post Shelving

  • The planning team for this prominent museum's vault chose Spacesaver's Nantucket museum-quality drawers in 4-Post Shelving to store broadsides, posters, and other flat files. The solution provides safe and efficient storage while also allowing staff to store larger items above the drawers. Staff have the ability to add more drawers or trays in the future and can even reconfigure the shelving units with hanging rods or other accessories.

  • Flat File Cabinets with Casters and Glass Tops

  • A library in Canada showcases local history in Spacesaver flat file cabinets with glass display tops. This solution offers a secure way to store and display items securely, and the cabinets were fitted with casters to allow staff to easily reconfigure the space for special events.

  • Quality Metal Cabinets

  • Our 920 Series: Preservation Cabinet was sent to a federal agency for a burn workshop in the fall of 2018. Although the side of the cabinet reached approximately 900° Celsius (1650° Fahrenheit), there was no water within the cabinet from the sprinkler discharge and items in plastic bags inside the cabinet were unaffected by smoke and soot.

  • Options Galore

  • Need storage without the microclimate feature? Spacesaver's 4-Post Shelving with museum-quality accessories such as Nantucket Drawers and Trays, Frame-Mounted Doors, and more can provide the versatility you need.
