| We manufacture and deliver a high-quality range of conservation storage boxes for museums, libraries, archives and private collections. These archival quality greyboard boxes are specially designed to protect their contents from the effects of deterioration over time. Each box is acid-free, lignin-free, and Oddy certified for safe use around both documents and artefacts, while their design minimises the risks associated with handling, transport and long-term storage. Manufactured with rigidity, strength and durability in mind, we only use materials that meet the highest archival standards when producing our conservation storage boxes. |

Key features of our Museum & Archive Storage Solutions
Caring for valuable collections means having the right storage. We build museum-grade shelving and storage systems that protect artefacts, artwork, and documents while keeping them easy to find. At Shelving Direct, we design and install shelving and mobile storage systems that meet the specific needs of museums, libraries, and archives across the UK.
Protective materials
All our shelving is made from inert, powder-coated steel — no sharp edges, no corrosion, and no off-gassing that could harm delicate items. Adjustable shelves let you re-arrange as collections grow. Smooth surfaces reduce dust build-up and physical abrasion, while adjustable shelves accommodate items of varying size and fragility. We can provide load calculations, humidity control options, and bespoke finishes to meet conservation guidelines.
Save space without risk
Mobile bases can double your capacity while maintaining full access. Anti-vibration runners and cushioned trays protect fragile items.
Designed around your requirements
We’ll visit your site, measure your space, and create a CAD design showing exactly how everything fits. Our team handles installation and provides maintenance checks to keep your system running smoothly. From static archive bays to mobile roller racking, our systems are designed to maximise every cubic metre of space. Mobile bases eliminate fixed aisles and expand capacity within the same footprint. Hanging picture racks, plan chests, and deep storage drawers are available for specific collection types.
Custom design and installation
Larger projects starts with a site survey and CAD layout to assess space, access, and load distribution. Our engineers ensure compliance with building and safety standards, including floor-load testing and anti-tip mechanisms for mobile units. We provide full documentation for insurance for audit purposes.
Specialist applications
We have delivered solutions for national and regional museums, local authorities, universities, and heritage bodies. Our experience includes storing artwork, textiles, manuscripts, archaeological specimens, and large artefacts requiring non-standard dimensions or environmental controls.
Frequently asked questions
1. What’s the best shelving for museums?
Powder-coated finishes are ideal as they are chemically stable, durable, and easy to clean and maintain.
2. Can I add mobile bases later?
It is sometimes possible to retrofit existing shelving onto mobile carriages. Mobile bases are suitable when fitted with anti-vibration systems and sealed bearings to prevent dust ingress. Contact us to discuss your requirements.
3. How do I keep artefacts safe?
We use smooth, non-reactive materials and can fit protective liners where needed.
4. Do you offer design layouts?
Yes, our designers can create full CAD drawings and space-planning plans.
5. Can you install across the UK?
Absolutely — our specialist team covers museums and archives nationwide.
6. What maintenance is required?
An annual inspection is recommended to check alignment, wheel operation, and environmental performance.
