Welcome to Ordinal

Poster: the Ordinal mark above the words NOTHING IS EVER LOST.

Since 1951, Ordinal Records & Retention has provided secure retention of materials that must be kept but must not be remembered.

Whatever you need kept, we keep: a lifetime of correspondence, forty years of ledgers, the home movies you would rather not watch again. Everything in our care is catalogued, labelled and shelved in our climate-controlled stacks at 1159 Meridian Way, for as long as it takes. Longer, if you like.

Our Records department is open around the clock. Our Night Floor is staffed from 9:41 PM.
