A memory media archiving and management system is provided in which data entrusted for archiving by a user can be rapidly retrieved. The memory media archiving system receives a memory media archiving request from a user to archive memory media. A database stores information relating to archiving locations for the memory media. That database receives from the user, via a communication line, volume names established for each of the memory media to be archived, and identifying information corresponding to the volume names. The system holds the information in association with information relating to archiving locations for the memory media.
