Six Considerations Regarding Security
According to “Hunter’s” in a small archival program these six hints must be considered:
Doors Locks
windows Alarms Keys
Box labelsDoors: Doors should be strong, well made including frame. 7

Windows
windows on the lower floor should be locked.
• Fire and burglar alarms should be monitored on a regular schedule.
• Burglar alarms should be set when the archive’s repository closes
and should include both door and motion alarms.
• In areas that may be unsafe from flooding, rain, tank
water there water alarms are important.

keys should be carefully issued.
when cleaning or maintenance, staff need to be in the archives, they must do so during normal hours or in the
presence of a security guard.
Archivist must mention minimum information on the box label. 11

Security measures• Requiring patrons and staff to enter and exit the building by one
door, which is monitored at all times.
• Door buzzers and alarms are recommended. Employing one or more
security guards to patrol the repository after closing.
• Prevent accidental false alarms.
• Taking steps to prevent removal or duplication of keys, ensuring that
keys are returned when employees leave, and changing all locks
periodically.
• It is prudent to examine the building’s after-hours. 12

Collection security
• “Collection security involves making sure that records do not disappear either during use or at
other time”. Archivist must be aware of the alerts regarding staff:
• The same person reporting items missing or being informing to find missing item.
• A staff member disregards for established rules and procedures.
• A staff member’s lifestyle that does not match salary .16
