Vol. 353: Overwhelming Results in Underutilized Space

Displaying How Safe Visible Storage Can Be

Having the support and acknowledgment of your community can be an extremely powerful thing for an organization, especially one geared toward sharing the items that represent the history of said community. However – as the Vermont Historical Society realized – with a larger amount of visitors, comes a greater risk for damage and theft. Wanting to still provide visibility for its patrons while at the same time ensuring security for the priceless artifacts in its collection, they reached out to their local Spacesaver representative at Donnegan Systems, Glenn Underwood.

The result was a combination of drawers, shelves, art racks, and a whole lot of locking glass, all designed to keep collections in sight and theft and damage never to be seen again. Repurposing an underutilized storage space that was best described as a catch-all closet, Glenn and his team turned the space into a must-see attraction for patrons of all ages. Now, visitors can get an up-close-and-personal perspective of each displayed item, and never the two shall touch.
