I'm attempting to collect estimated figures for the cost of climate

I need figures by linear foot for paper collections, photograph and film
collections, and objects.

Most commercial off-site records storage firms charge by the cubic foot and
not the linear foot. Are you looking for vaulted climate controlled storage?
What will be your retrieval/access rate of the material. You should develop
an RFP that can be sent out to the vendors. Off-site storage is a very
tricky element of records/archival management. Each one of the items
(records, film, objects) has different storage requirements. I would suggest
that you also visit some of the vendors to see their operations.
