ARC unlocks the amazing past of Bristol School
Earlier this year Clifton College approached ARC Data Storage to assist with the storage of their school archives, which go back over 150 years. As well as providing storage, ARC were asked to carry out a thorough audit of all the items. Although Clifton College knew there were some valuable and unusual items, a full audit had not been carried out for a number of years.

The audit initially commenced when ARC opened a large container that had been held at a removals company for a number of years. The contents were all carefully examined and a detailed catalogue produced. Subsequently ARC was asked to remove further archives from the school’s own strong room and cellars to complete the archiving.
Clifton College have been delighted with the results. The process has unlocked incredible facts relating to the school’s history including a rare letter from Nelson, a cricket bat belonging to AEJ Collins (who achieved the highest-ever recorded score in cricket: 628 not out in June 1899), as well as hundreds of photographs and press cuttings, some of which were particularly poignant as they record the bravery of past pupils who served in the first and second World Wars.

All the archive information can now be accessed quickly and easily and this has enabled the facts to be used in a book that the school is compiling about Clifton College. The school is also considering developing a web site, which through ARC using the latest scanning equipment to copy documents, will give pupils, past and present, access to their house books, school photographs and other school related information.

ARC document storage versus self store: What are the benefits of ARC?
Many businesses may consider that a DIY approach to data storage is the most cost effective option. By boxing up all their paperwork, loading it into a car, transporting it to a self store facility, carrying the boxes in to a lockable room and leaving them there may at first glance seem to be the most economic choice.

However, ARC has recently won a number of business contracts from self storage centres by proving to companies that it is far more efficient and cost effective to have their documents managed professionally.
One of the hidden savings for ARC clients is the fact that they are not losing a valuable member of staff for long periods of time whilst they drive to the self store centre to find information.

ARC has also saved its clients valuable money by evaluating how much they are storing and prompting the destruction of unnecessary documents. With its state of the art warehouse management system, ARC can give clients quick access to information either by retrieval back to their place of work, or by scanning and e-mailing.
Some businesses have been shown to make up to a 50% cost saving compared to self store – very worthwhile in the current economic climate!
