I suspect maybe a lot of government documents? I know that our county lost a bunch of property records in a fire many, many years ago. Some of our property records can not be retrieved.

Here in the Chicago suburbs, a 250k sqft document storage warehouse just burned down.  It took them a week to put out the fire.  30' Racks stacked with banker boxes, when the building sprinklers hit it, the paper got waterlogged and got too heavy for the racks to support and came down, taking roof supports and building sprinkler system down with them.  Once the roof was opened up, the fire got lots of air, and just started raging.  With the roof gone, nothing was holding up the precast walls, etc.etc.  Basically there's no more building left.

So what kind of paper documents are stored in warehouses like this? Bank Documents?  Law office contracts?  The Panama Papers? I'm just curious what the market is for industrial scale paper storage like this.  I see a lot of storage places like this around the suburbs. Iron Mountain has a couple big facilities.  I'm guessing you are responsible for your own redundant copies at multiple storage warehouses?  Also seems like if there are just boxes of papers stacked on a shelf, there's really no security.
