<h2>Geology Rocks! </h2>
<p>Not only because it’s a great slogan to put on a t-shirt, but because of what it tells us about the structure of the materials we live on and how they have been affected over time by natural and human activities. From studying past living organisms to mapping out future development, so much can be learned by studying the materials our planet is made of; materials that many of which, have their own particular storage requirements.</p>

<p>Now, while Spacesaver’s team of local consultants aren’t specialists in the excavation of geological specimens, they have vast experience in providing solutions to safely store and preserve them. One solution they utilize in doing so is the <a href="/products/museum-storage-cabinets/museum-collection-storage-cabinets/">Spacesaver 920 Series: Preservation Cabinet</a>, whose reconfigurable interior and sturdy, modular frame is designed to offer a unique combination of versatility and strength to accommodate a myriad of materials and samples geologists utilize on a daily basis.</p>

<h3>Right At Any Height</h3>
<p>Geological specimen storage needs to be accessible and functional to allow for careful examination by scientists. And, as some pieces are less stable than others, the amount they are handled can be detrimental to their preservation. To help with this consideration, Spacesaver offers its <a href="/products/museum-storage-cabinets/museum-collection-storage-cabinets/">920 Series cabinets in varying widths, depths, and heights</a>, allowing users to combine efficient cabinet storage space with a functional countertop.</p>

<h3>Room With A View</h3>


<p><a href="/products/museum-storage-cabinets/museum-collection-storage-cabinets/">Spacesaver’s 920 Series: Preservation Cabinets</a> and their versatile accessories allow geologists to customize their space to create an environment that promotes efficiency. For some users, this requires an ability to see specimens without having to pull them out of their location. In order to better support these users, Spacesaver provides an optional UV-coated glass which protects collections and allows for visual inspection.</p>


<h3>Security, Safety Come Standard</h3>
<p>No matter what configuration your storage space requires, Spacesaver has the accessories to fit your need. Spacesaver’s 920 Series: Preservation Cabinets are manufactured of heavy-duty steel and are designed to mitigate damage caused by agents of deterioration. Comprised of a variety of clips, inserts, seals, and vents, the <a href="/products/museum-storage-cabinets/museum-collection-storage-cabinets/">920 Series’ accessories</a> ensure that your collections are stored properly and efficiently, with the flexibility to adapt as needed.</p>

<h3>Rock Star Treatment</h3>
<p>Are you looking for a secure and dependable storage solution for your geology lab? Reach out to our local storage experts to see what Spacesaver’s 920 Series: Preservation Cabinets can do to optimize the protection or your specimens.</p>

Spacesaver’s 920 Series cabinets provide built in versatility.

Ideal Preservation from the Inside Out

<p>Imagine a museum collections area in perfect order: everything has its place, with no disorganization or overcrowding. Even recently acquired items are seamlessly integrated into storage, right where they belong. There’s even room to grow in the future!</p>
<p>You can start creating that space today — for yourself and for your colleagues decades down the road. </p>

<h3>An Interior that Changes with Your Collections</h3>
<p>The <a href="/products/museum-storage-products/museum-preservation-cabinets/">Spacesaver 920 Series: Preservation Cabinet</a>&nbsp;offers a unique combination of versatility and strength. For instance, you can fill it with trays today, and years from now, after collections have grown or changed, your future colleagues can reconfigure it with drawers, hanging rods, or other accessories.</p>

<h3>Store More as Museum Collections Grow</h3>
<p>These modular cabinets can help add storage capacity in the future, too. Set them on the floor or mount them on casters at first, and years later they can be stacked or placed on <a href="/products/high-density-mobile-shelving/">compact mobile systems</a> to save space and create more room for growing collections.</p>

Versatile museum cabinets optimize space now & in the future.

<h4 style="margin-bottom: 0;">MUSEUM Q&amp;A</h4>
<h3 style="margin-top: 0;">How should we store oversized objects in our museum collection?</h3>
<p>Sometimes a museum’s mission to protect and preserve artifacts, artwork, or natural history specimens results in the need to store a variety of exceptionally large or heavy objects. These objects can be cumbersome and difficult to store.</p>
<p>Fortunately, your local Spacesaver museum planning consultant can design compact <a href="/products/high-density-mobile-shelving/">mobile storage systems</a> to optimize space and keep large objects organized and protected, just as they would for a typical museum collection. Spacesaver’s mobile systems eliminate empty aisles to promote the efficient use of space while also maintaining the highest standards of organization, accessibility, and preservation.</p>


	<p>In the past, some people simply suggested storing large museum objects like furniture or farm implements on the floor. Today most experts agree you should never store any museum object directly on the floor, due to the risk of damage from flooding or water seepage, mildew, pests, or other hazards. Shelving or compact storage systems get objects up off the floor and away from potential damage.</p>
<p>When space is a concern, heavy-duty compact storage systems can be used to compactly store even the largest museum objects like furniture, natural history specimens, farm implements, and more.</p>

<h3>Industrial-strength mobile systems optimize space for even the heaviest museum objects</h3>


<h3 >Heavy-duty Preservation</h3>
<p>The Naval Undersea Museum uses an <a href="/products/high-density-mobile-shelving/heavy-duty-mobile-racking/">ActivRAC system</a> to store torpedoes that weigh thousands of pounds. <a href="/portfolio-posts/torpedoes-heavy-duty-storage-solution/">Read the Story</a>.</p>

<h3>Moveable Museum Collections</h3>
<p>This museum uses <a href="/products/high-density-mobile-shelving/heavy-duty-mobile-racking/">Spacesaver’s ActivRAC® Mobilized Storage System</a> and Industrial Cantilever to store horse-drawn buggies, farm implements, and snowmobiles.</p>


<h3>Widespan Museum Shelving</h3>
<p>The Field Museum uses <a href="/products/commercial-metal-shelving/raptorrac-wide-span-shelving/">RaptorRAC® Widespan Shelving</a> to store large natural history specimens. The shelving is mounted on compact mobile storage systems to save space. <a href="/portfolio-posts/museum-storage-compact-shelving/">Read the Story</a>.</p>



<p>In addition to compact mobile systems, Spacesaver offers a range of other
    sturdy museum storage solutions, including widespan shelving and custom
    solutions like the industrial cantilever racking pictured above. As with
    all our museum offerings, these products are coated in non-off-gassing
    powder-coat paint and are engineered for safety and ease of access.</p>
