FREEZER STORAGE FACILITIES ;  

(Look in Yellow Pages under Warehouses - Cold Storage;)

Some warehouses will accept wet books and documents in boxes or milk crates. They have different types of freezers, capable of reaching various temperatures. Arrangements are made on a case-by-case basis. If your library or museum is part of a bigger institution, you may be able to use space in food service freezers. Some small institutions have made arrangements with local supermarkets. Most will not accept contaminated materials.
