As the old saying goes, it depends:-)

1. roll film: we store on standard book
stax, with bungee cords across the front
of each shelf. Filers must wear protective
goggles.

2. cut-frame transparencies: sleeved in clear plastic
(we use Picture Pockets), then placed
in standard archival boxes or in accordion
manila folders (I'm trying, over time, to
get rid of the latter), on standard shelving
in humidity & temp-controlled
room.

3. cut-frame prints: stored in standard
archival boxes on standard shelving.
