Overcoming Challenges of Museum and Library Relocations with Hansen Bros.
The process of relocating museums and libraries presents distinct challenges that differ significantly from standard moves. Museums house invaluable and often delicate artifacts that require special care. Libraries, on the other hand, hold vast collections of books and manuscripts that need organized and systematic handling to ensure order is maintained.
Furthermore, both institutions often utilize specialized storage solutions that are integral to their function and also need relocation. Recognizing these complexities, the Hansen Bros. team is poised to offer tailored assistance.
Systematic Inventory Management
Losing track during such a large-scale move is not an option. Our systematic inventory management ensures that every piece is accounted for during the move, from start to finish.
Specialized Packing & Handling
With our knowledge of art conservation and book preservation, we ensure that each item, whether a rare artifact or a vintage manuscript, is packed using materials and techniques that protect its integrity. Hansen Bros. owns a large number of purpose-built library carts designed for easy organization, protection, and efficiency.
Experienced Personnel
Our team has undergone specific training to handle the unique demands of museum and library relocations. This training, combined with our joined experience, ensures that your institution’s treasures are in the most competent hands.
At Hansen Bros. Moving & Storage, we’re not just movers managing museum and library relocations; we’re caretakers of history, culture, and knowledge. Ask our representative for a transparent, detailed, complementary moving estimate, and let us assist you in preserving the legacy of your institution.
