According to the Insurance Council of Australia, the average property damage claim for archives can exceed $40,000 due to incidents such as fires, floods, and other natural disasters, underscoring the importance of comprehensive insurance coverage.

The Australian Society of Archivists reports that business interruptions, including those caused by data breaches and system failures, can lead to financial losses of over $100,000, emphasizing the need for robust insurance policies.

Archive Insurance provides essential protections across several areas. Property insurance shields valuable assets and equipment from potential damage or loss, which is vital for archives housing irreplaceable documents. Public liability insurance covers third-party claims, protecting institutions if visitors or contractors incur injuries on-site. Business interruption insurance offers financial support if operations are halted, essential for facilities with high preservation standards. Additionally, professional indemnity insurance protects against claims of negligence, safeguarding the institution’s reputation. For those with employees, workers’ compensation insurance covers job-related injuries, while management liability insurance protects company leaders from potential legal or financial consequences.
