- - Archive storage isn't the sexiest business.  That is, unless those 
archives contain recordings of virtually all of MTV's  decades-worth of 
broadcasts. 
The network, which is owned by Viacom, has begun digitizing old VHS tapes  
that contain everything from interviews and live performances over the 
course of  MTV's 35 years, according to Bloomberg. And it's all taking place in a 
Hollywood  facility owned by Boston-based record storage firm Iron Mountain 
Inc. (NYSE:  IRM).

MTV’s past lives on in one place: the Vault, a library of more than 2 
million  files dating back to the network’s inception in 1981. The Vault houses 
full  episodes of Yo! MTV Raps and Total Request Live, as well as  footage 
from the red carpets of major awards shows, behind-the-scenes at music  
festivals and interviews with major political and cultural figures.
