Austin, Texas is known for great BBQs, Southern hospitality, and metropolis enjoyment. Nearly 1 million people claim Austin as home, about double the amount of people living here 20 years ago. With an expanding population, you would think that Austin is gaining in popularity, but it may surprise many to discover that Austin has been a popular place to live ever since 9200 BC. Austin was originally settled by native Americans living during the Ice Age, and different demographics have inhabited the area ever since, passing down history and a family legacy that today binds the community together culturally. US Storage Centers believes in preserving family history and the cultural identity of Austin. We supply premium storage units for those who wonder the questions, “Where are there storage units near me?” and, “What can I do with all of my family heirlooms?” Preserve your family history by utilizing our storage units in the following ways. Photos/Scrapbooks One of the fondest ways we remember our family members and the legacy they leave with us is by keeping photos and scrapbooks. There is something special about looking back on pictures which captured precious moments and experiences with loved ones, and scrapbooks offer a unique perspective as they describe the pictures and remind us what happened during that time. Photos and scrapbooking, however, generally take up a lot of space and can become disorganized, which is why so many Austin residents turn to our units for help. You can reduce clutter in your home by storing your photos and scrapbooking supplies in a unit, not to mention protect your photos from the elements. We offer climate-controlled storage units to protect your photos from the Austin heat, which can warp or discolor them if they are not properly stored. You will always be able to remember your family members passed as you keep your photos and scrapbooks with us. Heirlooms Many families in Austin pass down heirlooms to their family members because of the symbolism these items represent. Heirlooms come with a history and are special to us because they remind us of our loved ones and their history. Retaining heirlooms in our lives is like being able to see a loved one again. Heirlooms are generally old and fragile, such as precious glass china or old hand-crafted furniture, both of which can be easily broken or damaged if handled incorrectly. Some of our Austin residents have found their storage units useful in helping them store their heirlooms, as they can be kept safe from children, accidents, or (like photos) the weather/heat. Traditions Traditions are some of the most important things a family can pass on from generation to generation. Traditions help families remember their origins and give them a sense of identity and purpose. Though you are obviously unable to store a “tradition”, you can consider storing the items associated with your traditions. Residents in the area will use their storage unit for keeping Christmas lights and decorations, for example, while others utilize their storage space for cultural clothing or costumes. No matter the traditions you celebrate in your family, our storage units provide a great space for you to keep seasonal items when you are not using them. Preserving Your Family Heritage You have belongings that are important to you or which have a lot of value. To protect these cherished possessions and reduce clutter in your home, we encourage you to consider our storage units. We can help you preserve your family heritage and history which only adds to the richness of the history of Austin. Contact us and get moved into your storage unit today!
