<p>[QUOTE="Joan, post: 8305579, member: 5398"]Here's a suggestion for boxes that I use for my vintage jewelry collection, but might work for storing your ephemera collection. I started out with the first example but they were getting too expensive, so I made my own storage trays using a glue gun, foam board for the sides, and corrugated carboard for the bottoms lined with cotton flannel (you could use acid-free foam board instead of corrugated cardboard). They can be made any size to fit into different size shelves and cabinets. I numbered and labeled them, then made a spreadsheet so I can do word searches to quickly find things.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]426621[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]426622[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]426623[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
