The National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum Adopts Montel’s Preservation & Storage Solutions.

Challenge

Pursuant to a rapid growth of baseball major league artefacts, the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum was confronted with a need for efficient storage solutions for its 30,000 to 35,000 collection objects.

Objective

The collection, which includes baseballs, bats, uniforms, player equipments and textiles, had to be efficiently stored now in a climate-controlled environment. In addition, the proposed new storage system had to support the collection growth (400 new objects yearly) over a 10-year period.

Solution

A custom-designed mobile storage system was proposed in order to accommodate many different and flexible shelving and collection accessories.
