Read MoreHide Full Article

Iron Mountain Incorporated (IRM - Free Report) recently announced a preservation project in partnership with QualX Corporation and TDEC, in a bid to digitally capture the U.S. Army War College's U.S. Army Heritage and Education Center (USAHEC) artifacts. The $30-million contract includes a base year of performance and can be extended by up to four years through one-year option periods.     

USAHEC maintains a collection of contemporary and archival materials, including approximately 300 years of manuscripts, photographs, artifacts, audio-visual items, and other records that are of immense significance to the history of America's armed forces.

Through this large-scale project, all of these archives will be processed, digitalized and stored, according to procedures that will ensure protection of the valuable material in a secure environment. In fact, Iron Mountain’s Jessup, MD facility will preserve the collection that is currently in Carlisle, PA.

The company, along with QualX, will digitally transform nearly 24,000 linear feet of unclassified archival collections. Following this, TDEC will collect the metadata to ensure clarity and quality control for the digital images.

This will create a digital repository of military material including nearly 33 million indexed images that can easily be accessed by researchers globally.

Per management, the company’s imaging, scanning and indexing services, along with secure storage options, will help USAHEC meet its digital transformation objectives.
