I have several large photos and documents (around 16"x20") which I would like to store much more safely than I have them now. (For example, some of them are rolled in tubes, which is terrible for long-term storage.) Could anyone recommend a binder/portfolio with archival pages (probably polypropylene- glad I didn't have to say that out loud!), at least 16x20? In searching online, I have found this one which looks good and the price is fine, but a little larger might be nice. While I'm at it, has anyone bought page holder binder pages that are divided into thirds, fourths, or more, for smaller items so they don't slide all over? As always, thank you for your advice.

I've found that Bags Unlimited has a good selection of storage and display items. I've used them for sleeves etc. for my 8x10s.Steve

Steve, I use binder pages from Clear-file, they are archival and are available divided into pockets to fit 8x10, 5x7, 4x5, and 3.5x5 etc. I also use slide holder pages that are sized 2x2 for the really small stuff.Good luck,

Thanks to everyone who replied here or e-mailed me. I ended up buying an 18x24 "Presentation/Display Book" from the same dealer I linked to above: specifically for photos, and cheaper than the art one I was originally going to get! It arrived already and I highly recommend it for oversize prints. (If you're interested, it's $25, about halfway down on that page, and has the word "Evolution" in its name.) As for the pages, I ordered from clearfile.com some pages divided into 4x5, which are exactly what I was looking for. Steve |

So Steve, it seems like you did a pretty good job of getting a bunch of people to do your legwork for you!!! | |
