Connecting to Collections Care

We have scheduled an AMA (Ask Me Anything) on Caring for Photograph Collections with Gary Albright. The way this works is that you have up until 1pm ET on November 26th to type your questions as a reply to this post. Gary will be logged into the community for an hour starting at that time to type replies to your questions.

You do not have to be present while he is doing this as you and everyone else will be able to see his answers at any time following the AMA. Go ahead and start asking your specific questions now. BONUS points if you ask good general questions that you think may benefit the entire community (even if you think you may know the answer)!  If you'd rather post anonymously, feel free to send me your questions, and I will post them for you. Otherwise, you can start leaving your questions today.
Hope to see you there!

What is the best way to store photos? We at the Rutland Historical Society have taken in a newspapers photo collection. When we recieved the photos they were in folders in filing cabinets. I put the photos in plastic sleeves to protect them and now they will not fit back in the cabinets. Do you have any suggestions ?
