Amanda, People fret so much about the archival quality of storage materials, but just as, and probably more important, is to store CD's and film-based images and prints in locations where humidity, temperature, and exposure to light are controlled, and there is some air circulation. Jewel cases usually have transparent fronts, so an index card needs to be inserted.
When I had to rehouse hundreds of rolls of b&w negative film, I found that buying a packet of heavier-weight, acid free paper from my local stationery store, and using polyvinyl acetate glue, enabled me to easily make inexpensive, archival envelopes of the size I needed. And....won't you be needing to transfer information from your cd's to dvd's, or some other medium every few years?

If I could use sleeves it would save a lot of space. =============================================================== GO TO http://www.prodig.org for ~ GUIDELINES ~ un/SUBSCRIBING ~ ITEMS for SALE
