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. Arlyn Illinois State Library -----Original Message----- From: Johnnie D.

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. Don Harris [log in to unmask]
