Intellectual challenges of the move: Creating moving lists! Labeling pallet contents! Skeletons in the closet (i.e. missing boxes)! Unfamiliar records! (All of these sound familiar....) #mac2018

Problems with moving you don't often hear about: "GPS doesn't work when you're in a cave 120 feet underground" #recordsstorage! #mac2018

30,000 cubic feet from Lee's SUmmit and Lenexa were being moved to a facility that wasn't finished yet-- so they stored it in the federal record center in the meantime. #Mac2018

The records moved in this case are Bankruptcy Case Files from 1800 forward. Big step in this: applying barcodes to movable boxes! Replacing damaged housing! Description! #mac2018

NARA Archival storage-- only 1-3% of records created, but none of that EVER GOES AWAY so it adds up. 13 archival facilities across the country #mac2018

Now: Jessica Hopkins on NARA moves-- promises the scope of the NARA move will be much larger than either of the other presenters #mac2018

"What's great about our move is that we'll be doing it again." That does NOT sound great, NGL #mac2018
