Complete Archive Overhaul

Weymouth College caters for over 7,000 students, mainly from Dorset, but also other parts of the UK and from overseas. The college has recently benefited from a £13 million redevelopment programme equipping the campus with many fine new buildings, plus remodelling and refurbishing of older accommodation.

Due to the current legislative framework, many college documents need to be retained for over ten years and a couple of years ago the college carried out a critical review of it’s document archiving and identified a need to improve efficiency, regularise cataloguing and free up college storage space for better use.

The first stage of sorting took a couple of months and Bernie Crannie, MSR Eurostore General Manager, helped college staff to completely catalogue and re-box most of their archive. Currently some 1,700 boxes are stored by MSR Eurostore on behalf of the college.

Paul Lonsdale, Deputy Principal and Director of Finance, said: “Weymouth College contracted with MSR Eurostore to provide it’s archiving and storage facilities. The work entailed transferring, re-cataloguing and storing a wide range of archived information ranging from student files through to detailed grant project evidence documentation”.
“Throughout the entire process the staff at MSR Eurostore were thoroughly professional and completed the task to a very high standard despite the problems they encountered with our existing archiving system. I would certainly recommend their services to any organisation wishing to transfer their paper-based archiving to a reputable and reliable third party”.
