Nashville came to be nearly 217 years ago. The city was named after the Revolutionary War hero, Francis Nash, who died as one of ten Patriot generals. This, among many other things, is only one example of how Nashville is deeply rooted in American history. While Nashville today is really well-known for its music, food, and good football, none of this would have been possible without its history. At US Storage Centers, we offer Nashville storage units to residents of the city who are looking to preserve history their own way, whether it is storing their own historical artifacts or keeping personal history records safe. See what we recommend keeping in your storage unit to preserve the history of your life and family. Preserving History Through Books Most people know that books are important parts of society because they preserve the ideals, language, and truth of times gone by. Whether you are looking to store books about historical events, old books published many years ago, or simply your own collection of books you value from your past, our Nashville self-storage units may be a great answer for you. Those who keep important books in storage find that the their integrity remains intact much longer than if stored anywhere else, such as on a shelf or desk. There are a few reasons for this: If books are printed on acid paper, climate-controlled units can slow the rate at which deterioration occurs. Books in storage drastically reduce the risk of water or temperature damage, especially if they are stored in water-resistant boxes or containers - i.e. plastic bins. Books are less likely to wear out as they should generally be stored on their sides within boxes, relieving pressure from its spine, glue, and stitching. Keeping your books to preserve your memories or any memories of the past is made substantially easier when kept within our units. The benefits are an open book!

Antiques can range from pieces of art to priceless family heirlooms, all of which keep very well in storage units. Wooden objects are less likely to be damaged from moisture exposure. It is nearly impossible for paintings to get sun-damaged. Fragile items are less likely to break if they are stored correctly because there is no extra movement that may shift them around.
