A disaster-safe document binder includes rigid frame components: a front cover panel, a back cover panel, a spine assembly, and an apron. The rigid frame components form a book-like structure sized to store documents. The spine assembly includes a plurality of mounting rods that extend across the width of the spine assembly and are removably and rotatably coupled to each support member of spine assembly. The mounting rods physically support documents hanging vertically downward from the linear mounting brackets. The spine assembly includes a locking bar or locking pin that slides within a channel of a support member of the spine assembly to release or close the mounting rods within the spine assembly. The disaster-safe document binder formed from a metal that will not rust, emit harmful gases, or stain or discolor documents contained therewithin. The disaster-safe document binder is sealed closed to control an internal micro-climate within the binder.
