@begiantca: Come behind-the-scenes of a futuristic building holding Canada's history, in Gatineau, Que. The Preservation Storage Facility is the largest automated archival centre in the world. This 10-storey concrete cube holds six vaults that each have their own massive robot to retrieve items by carrying entire shelves at a time (only humans get to touch the individual boxes). It is designed to preserve the materials within it for 500 years. The storage facility houses more than 540,000 documents, 144,000 reels of motion picture film and nearly 5,000 reels of microfilm. Take a look inside this unassuming place preserving Canada's history. #archive #History #library
