Hi Folks

We have a large collection of air photos - around 800,000 in the 'active
collection'.  These are stored in document boxes (AKA Hollinger boxes) -
generally flip top and approx 12x10x5 inches.  The boxes are stored on
regular library shelving. These are in a staff only area with 24 hr
turn-around on request (although often we can pull photos more quickly).


The air photo indexes are stored in map cabinets in the public area.

Can someone tell me how aerial photographs are stored in their library?
Are they stored in flatfiles, hanging files, in boxes, etc.?  Are there
specific cabinets designed for the air photos or are standard cabinets
used?

We're a new company specializing in cabinets and supplies for the map
storage market and could use some advice regarding the aerial
photographs.

Thanks.
