Hi Folks
We have a large collection (over 750,000) of air photos which we keep in
boxes on standard library shelving. These are in a variety of 4-5" wide
transfer or document boxes.
We have just designed a new box, somewhat like a Hollinger box, but designed
to 11.5"x11.5"x5.0" dimensions to better hold the 10x10 photos, and the
width adjusted to allow 7 boxes to fit on a shelf. These come flat and are
folded on site which eliminated the storage problems of the pre-made boxes.

I have mine stored in regular filing cabinets, metal 4-drawer, of the type
that are used for storing paper files. They are Steelcase cabinets that
are available from many suppliers. The aerial photos were in these when I
came to the map collections.
