Many of the records we create need to be retained for the life of the pipeline
which in many instances can be between 75-100 years. We are implementing
processes to limit the amount of paper created during the project phase, but
aren’t close to being paperless at this time. With that said, I have been
looking at the best way to ensure paper records stored for 75-plus years
remain legible throughout their lifecycle. My question is concerning the use of
acid free, lignin-free storage cartons. Are there any studies showing how
much the integrity of a record is lengthened through the use of these
compared to those cartons that don't contain these qualities?
Ultimately, I want to find out if the acid and lignin-free cartons are worth the
extra investment over the life of these documents.
Any guidance is appreciated.
Thanks,
