I use a variant of the last option you mentionned for storing prickings,
diagrams and such.  But I sort them out by structural type rather than trying
to keep a libtrary like system (what you descirbed seemed to have such
elements).  So: torchon, Beds, Cluny, Russian tape, Cantu, etc.  The really
large ones are stored in artist's portfolios.  Back in the 80s one could buy
large cardboard folders at art supply stores for keeping artwork flat and
safe.  They came as large as 24 x 30 inches.  They have cloth tabs that fold
over to keep dust out of the inside, and little tapes to tie the front to the
back so all the papers won't slither out.  I've noticed that a lot of art
supplies that used to be easily available just don't exist any more.  I
suppose the age of computer art has destroyed all the felt markers, colored
plastic sticky film.  But there are still people who use actual paints, aren't
there?  And they still need to store their artwork flat.  I then store this
portfolio flat on a shelf in my pillow keeper cupboard.
