Re: How many sheets of paper are in a linear foot?



Hard to say, but I'd suggest taking some reams of new paper (i.e. copier
paper) and putting them in a standard archival storage box of known size.
Bear in mind that paper like that is much neater than the stacks of archival
material we normally get, and factor in a certain amount of lost space for
the folders, and that's probably the best estimate.

I've never tried this, so no promises.
