Chicago Records & Document Storage
Secure, organized storage for business records and archives. Get inactive files out of expensive office space and into a facility built to store, protect, and retrieve them when you need them.
Edler has provided records storage in the Chicago area since 1938.
Organized Chicago record and archive storage that makes retrieval simple
Document storage sounds boring until you need an old contract during a legal dispute and can’t locate it.
Edler is an expert at record storage and archival storage. We handle everything from individual boxes of files moving in and out on a regular basis to full trailer loads of records arriving at once. Every box gets cataloged and stored on organized racking systems so your documents can be located and pulled quickly when you need them.
You won’t have to worry about humidity or temperature swings destroying your documents. This is important for paper records that need to survive years or decades in storage.
Working with us for record storage beats keeping boxes in your office closet, your basement, or a self-storage unit where you can’t find anything without spending a whole day searching.

Get files without leaving your office
Need a document pulled? Request it by phone or email and our team will retrieve it. Same-day retrieval is available for urgent requests, with next-business-day turnaround for routine pulls. We can deliver physical originals if you need them.
This is especially useful for legal matters requiring original records, audits spanning multiple years of documentation, or occasional access to old files. The whole point of professional records storage is making inactive documents accessible without cluttering your workspace.
Active files that you reference daily belong at your desk. Everything else belongs somewhere more cost-effective—like a records storage facility in Chicago that costs a fraction of your office lease per square foot.

Stay compliant with retention schedules
Different types of business records have different legal retention requirements. Tax documents, employment files, contracts, medical records, and financial statements all carry mandatory retention periods.
This prevents two costly mistakes: destroying records too early and creating legal liability, or keeping them too long and paying to store documents you could have shredded years ago.
For businesses in Chicago and Illinois that need to stay compliant with retention regulations, outsourcing records storage to a provider with retention tracking takes a genuine hassle off your hands.

Secure destruction when records reach end of life
When retention periods expire, we handle secure document destruction through certified shredding services. A certificate of destruction is provided as proof of proper disposal.
After all, you can’t just toss old files in a dumpster. Doing that would create security risks and potential compliance violations. Proper destruction eliminates those risks. This matters most for records containing personal information, financial data, or proprietary business details.
Records and document storage in Chicago isn’t just about keeping files safe while you need them—it’s about disposing of them properly when you don’t.
