Underground Archives Joins Forces with Hollywood Vaults
WAMPUM, PA – Underground Archives, a company specializing in archival records management, has announced a partnership with Hollywood Vaults to offer a unique cold storage solution for the long-term archival preservation of film and media assets.
The subterranean vault, built by Underground Archives in its highly secure facility, is provided to Hollywood Vaults’ clients for all of their specialized cold storage and preservation needs.
“The approach to managing film and other valuable media assets is unique for each of our clients, which is why we have welcomed the challenge of building a special preservation and storage solution specifically for Hollywood Vaults,” said Daniel Bruce, President of Underground Archives. “We are thrilled to work with such a highly regarded company in the entertainment industry. This new vault benefits both of our client bases. This is another way in which we are demonstrating our commitment to preserving all media assets.”
