I’ve worked with other archive houses, and they’re all great. But Iron Mountain probably has the most capabilities. If you’ve got something weird, you take it to them.
There are many companies that have the capability to digitise older tapes, but we knew we needed the best partner to help us restore and care for the Sun Records collection. Iron Mountain Media & Archival Services has the history of success, the experts, the facilities, and the unique processes that ensured the successful preservation of these fragile, priceless assets.
