Regardless of why you’re moving, you’re bound to face the question of what to do with your historical assets: valuable documents, digital records, product prototypes, videos and any other items related to your company’s history.

These assets may make up an archives. Or they may be stuffed in a cupboard, or trapped on a hard drive or server. No matter what, you still probably need to move them from point A to point B.
