The Association of Moving Image Archivists has an excellent website which
includes general storage and preservation guidelines and plenty of
links.  Its a good starting point for anyone with audio/visual

 I am interested in this information, too, since I am in the midst of a
 similar project myself. I have heard of putting film on cores and then
 putting that into acid-free boxes, but I wondered if the film would need to

 occasion - please down pounce on me for that!). :)
