I have just now mentioned that professionalism is indispensable for any successful archival management programme - so are functional archival building, shelving systems and disaster management programmes. As you are aware, properly built archival buildings alone can facilitate protection of records of national importance and historical value from the vagaries of weather and fire.
The Reserve Bank of India Archives has four large size records rooms each measuring about 3,800 square feet. The records are kept in centrally air-conditioned rooms. The building is well equipped with fire fighting equipment like smoke detectors with alarm alert system and fire extinguishers. The digital Access Control System is being installed in the record rooms to prevent unauthorised entry.
