Iron Mountain Incorporated (NYSE: IRM), the global leader in information protection and storage services, announced today that the Hollywood Arts Council will recognize the company for its work over the last 50 years to preserve motion pictures, song recordings, TV shows and other priceless cultural artifacts. The Council will bestow its Charlie Award for "Preservation Arts" to members of Iron Mountain's Film & Sound Services at this Saturday night's 30th Anniversary Gala and Annual Awards Presentation to be held at the Jim Henson Company Studios (the historic Charlie Chaplin Studio) in Hollywood, Calif.
For 22 years, the Hollywood Arts Council Awards have honored individuals and organizations for their significant contributions to Hollywood and its arts community. Dubbed the "Charlies," the awards recognize achievement across several artistic categories, including public art, cinema, entertainment, fashion and theater. This year's winners, which were chosen by the Council's board of trustees, include the likes of the Hollywood Wax Museum and American fashion icon
Bob Mackie, who is best known for his imaginative costumes for Cher and The
Carol Burnett Show.
Iron Mountain manages more than 15 million film and sound elements for more than 1,500 customers, including major motion picture studios, television production companies, recording studios and advertising agencies. The Company protects these assets in storage facilities located in major entertainment markets, as well as in high-security, state-of-the-art underground facilities. Iron Mountain adheres to stringent archival standards and stays current with industry trends and emerging technologies through active participation in major associations.
Even as the preservation and storage of entertainment assets evolves from analog to digital formats, Iron Mountain continues to lead the industry in preserving both types of entertainment elements. Iron Mountain recently acquired Xepa Digital, LLP, a leader in the conversion of analog and outmoded digital audio and video tapes to high-resolution digital file formats for archiving and distribution, which furthered its footprint in the film and sound industry.
