Re: Inside those document cases



Several archival suppliers offer acid-free board inserts that fold
to form sort of a square "["  to brace against the items.   My
personal preference is wadded acid-free paper.  We keep a
box of these and reuse/remove/reapply as necessary.

We also have a bunch of small boxes to hold 8 x 10 glass
plate negatives.  We got overstocked here by mistake, but
darn if they don't fit easily into these boxes without adding
a great deal of weight and hold the items upright.
