Storing Prints and Slides


Hey again: Just curious ... if anyone can help. My slide and print/negative collection is getting rather large now, and I was just wondering if anyone knew of a sort of semi-professional way to store these (either together or apart) ... and to arrange so I can show people and stuff like that - like a neat folder especially designed for this type of thing. Thanks in advance. :)

  They sell archival plastic sleeves for either slides or negatives. You can check the major photo supply houses, or just do a Google Search under "Slide Storage" to find out what's available.

I keep my slide pages in notebook binders. (They come with three holes punched in them for this.) They can be grouped and categorized - however works best for your collection ... as long as it's organized to allow for quick access to an image.

As far as showing them, I seldom do "slide shows" any more. Thanks to technology, it's easier (and better for the slides than projection) to scan them to a computer and e-mail them ... or put them onto my Web site.
