Specialist Library and Archive Relocation Services
Libraries and archives require specialist moving services - books are heavy, collections need organisation, and rare or archival materials need careful handling. At Sigma Removals, we provide professional library relocation services across Devon, from personal book collections to institutional libraries and archival repositories.
Our methodical approach helps maintain organisation throughout the move, using careful packing with clear labelling to assist with reshelving at your new location. Whether you’re moving a university library, school collection, or treasured personal library, we handle every volume with appropriate care.
Specialist Handling for Rare Books and Archives
Rare books, manuscripts, and archival materials require special care. We use protective packing materials and handle each piece with appropriate care.
For particularly valuable collections, we can provide additional insurance coverage. Our team understands the difference between handling modern paperbacks and fragile antiquarian volumes, adapting our methods accordingly.
Flexible Scheduling for Minimal Disruption
We understand that libraries provide essential services. That’s why we offer flexible scheduling including evening, weekend, and holiday moves. For institutional libraries, we can work in phases, moving sections of the collection whilst keeping other areas accessible, or execute complete moves during closure periods.
Our efficient team works quickly without compromising care, minimising the time your library needs to be closed and getting your collection back in service as rapidly as possible.
