What is the weight of the paper? 20lb bond, construction paper? A standard
records storage carton filled to within 90% of capacity weighs about 35 lbs
the box is 12x10x15inches. a cubic foot is 12x12x12 inches


>weight of 1 cubic foot of photographs?
depends upon the whether we are talking negatives (35mm, 4x5, glass-plate)
or paper prints (4x5 contacts, 8x10 glossies)


>weight of 1 cubic foot of videos?
8mm, VHS, Beta?


Why the need for weight, are you trying to determine floor-load capacity or
limits?
