Light Impressions, Rochester, NY (800) 828-6216, sells a variety of
supplies for storing and caring for photographic images. These
include plastic boxes -- the bottom is white, the top is clear -- which
hold either 40 or 80 35mm slides. These are the same types of
boxes used by some processing labs to deliver slides.
These boxes are also great for storing a variety of small hardware
(photographic or otherwise), because the clear lid lets you see what's
in the box.
Don't have the catalog in front of me at the moment, but the prices for
these boxes are quite reasonable.
Of course, if you produce large quantities of slides, you will also
want to look at some of Light Impressions' other options for storing
slides, such as the modular cabinets made by Luxor. The latter are
not cheap, but well worth their price.
If you don't already get their catalog, call Light Impressions for a
copy. They are the leading company in the US for these types of
supplies.
For a look at various options for storing photographic images, you
may want to check local libraries for a copy of my book, _Organizing
Your Photographs_. The book, published in the mid 80s, is now
out of print but should be available in most larger libraries -- or they
should be able to borrow it from another library through interlibrary
loan (ILL in the library business). The chapters on computer use are
somewhat dated, but the rest of the advice offered is still valid.
