Re: slides



Get catalogs from companies that sell archival supplies.  Light Impressions
is very good for photographic and art supplies.   (1-800-828-6216).  You
can either store them in plastic slide pages (within notebooks) or various
style boxes.  I suspect that it would be a lot easier and cheaper to go
with boxes for the quantity you are talking about.
