Services

Ordinal keeps what must be kept. Our services are priced by the shelf, by the box and by the night.

Records storage

Paper records in banker's boxes, shelved in our climate-controlled stacks at 64°F and 40% relative humidity. Every box is barcoded, every shelf is logged, and any box can be retrieved within the hour, day or night.

Microfilm & microfiche

We film, index and keep your documents on archival film, and we keep the originals too. We see no reason to choose.

Videotape retention & reissue

Records accepts U-matic, Betamax, VHS, S-VHS and Video8. Every cassette in our care is catalogued, labelled and shelved spine out.

Cassettes that have served their purpose are reissued as blank stock for our own use. Previous recordings are retained. A reissued cassette opens with our duplication notice, ORR-RC-04.

Personal retention

Some things must be kept but must not be remembered. Our Intake coordinators will advise you in confidence. See The Programme.

What we don't do

Ordinal does not offer shredding, pulping or destruction of any kind. We have never lost a file, and we do not intend to start.
