Case Study: The GRAMMY Museum preserves and secures its archives with Iron Mountain Smart Vault

The GRAMMY Museum® uses Smart Vault to support fan access to its digital collections

The Grammy Museum, an interactive music museum in Los Angeles, faced the challenge of securely collecting and preserving its vast archives of assets documenting the recording process and GRAMMY history. To protect these materials from deterioration and improve their accessibility, the museum collaborated with vendor Iron Mountain, utilizing their Smart Vault and archival services.

Iron Mountain provided a secure, private, temperature-controlled vault with card-swipe authorization to house the priceless physical assets. They further offered a digital content repository for future assets, ensuring long-term preservation through quality checks and proprietary robotic systems. This solution from Iron Mountain successfully preserved the museum's musical history, significantly improved the security and accessibility of its collection, and created potential new monetization opportunities.
