Archival 14" x 18" Print Storage Box, Drop Front Design, 14" x 18" x 3", Exterior Color: Blue/Gray Custom LIN-733-0014

I have recently become the family archivist and have been digitizing photos well over 100 years of age from my family's home place where 4 generations have resided. I purchased large pieces of acid free tissue paper to place between layers of the photos to stop further "leaching" of the ink used on the black and white photographs. It has worked well and I can get several layers of photos in these boxes. The boxes will be put away in a safe, dry, dark closet, but with the photos digitized I can look at them digitally any time I want and can share with other family members via email or Facebook, etc.

If you own old or precious documents, this type of boxis altogether necessary. Paper tends to yellow, stiffen,and self-destruct, turning into "corn flakes."Acids in paper and in the air around us can eat awayat and destroy paper documents. Acid-free containerscreate safer mini-environoments that can greatlyprolong the life of documents. Storing your papers in acidiccardboard folders and boxes accelerate their deterioration.Photographs are better stored in specially constructed photo-safe containers.

It was what I wanted. I am well aware of archival products but didn’t know where to get what I needed locally. Shipment arrived a day before promised which was a plus.

Perfect for what I was looking for...a sturdy storage box for a large scrapbook. I like the color but i would say it is gray, not blue/gray. It actually matches my scrapbook exactly, so i am very happy. Very sturdy Seller with good, quick shipping. Very happy with this storage box!

A great product for protecting papers.

Nice quality box. All of my largest photos fit in this box.

Perfect. Good color; strong.
