  • 1.  Photo Storage Ideas!

    Posted 19 days ago

    Hi all, 

    We have about 50,000 physical photographs of various sizes and formats in our collection. As you can imagine, they take up a lot of space. I am wondering if anyone has any creative ideas on how to store a good amount of panoramic photographs, large framed photos and photo albums. The systems we have in place have worked for years but moving forward I don't think we will be able to continue that way space wise. Open to all kinds of ideas! 

    Thanks, 
    Neylan

    Hi Neylan,

    I'm Maddie, I'm closing out my monitor period now, but wanted to chip in! 

    There's a good resource on creating dividers for flat file drawers to house panoramic photos on StashC. Curious to hear if others have tips and tricks! 

    Best, 

    Maddie
