------------------
We used to keep our aerial photos in accordian folders shelved in
regular
office filing cabinets, until a few years ago. One of the problems with
that
arrangement was that the drawers weren't quite deep enough to keep the
top
of the aerial photos from rubbing against the bottom of the drawer
immediately above it unless you let the folder "slouch" a little, which
causes the photos to curl.  So, a few years ago, I found some cabinets
that
are a little bit deeper and now the folders can stand up straight
without
rubbing the top of the drawer above. I then looked for some acid free
folders in which to put the photos, one flight line per folder, like we
had
before. I looked in the regular library supplier catalogs but didn't
find
any thick or strong enough. I'm still open to suggestions.

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.
