We have encountered a serious problem of vinegar syndrome which is a film deterioration phenomenon which effects contemporary, safety base negatives made of cellulose acetate.  While the purchase of a freezer will accommodate a certain number of our negatives, we are looking for a commercial cold storage facility to house a substantially larger number of negatives until which time we can find the necessary resources to economically duplicate and/or scan these negatives.
Has anyone had any experience with a cold storage facility that might be recommended to us?
Please reply to my email address.
Thank you.
