The new Preservation and Storage Facility (PSF) will allow LAC to centralize much of its holdings of archival material, primarily textual material and Motion Picture Film, out of two of its buildings into the new PSF. LAC requires a contractor for the physical move of archival material from the Preservation Center (PC) located in Gatineau, Québec, to its new location in the PSF, which is connected via a link to the existing PC, as well as internal moves of collections within the Preservation Centre (PC).BuildingAddressPreservation Storage Facility (PSF)635 Du Carrefour Boulevard, Gatineau, Québec, J8T 8L8Preservation Centre (PC)625 Du Carrefour Boulevard, Gatineau, Québec, J8T 8L8Library and Archives Canada seeks to establish one (1) contract that will be in effect from date of contract award until March 31st, 2023.
