<p>[QUOTE="gregsglass, post: 37396, member: 78"]Hi Bev,</p><p> If we all do as the sites say we will all be broke in a few weeks. The fastest way is to keep them in Mylar sleeves which have holes in the edge and keep them in three ring binders. It is IMPORTANT to use Mylar and not the cheaper plastics which give off fumes and break down. I have a few which fold over and open for larger booklets. I just put them with the fold where it is on the paper. I like to look at them occasionally that is why I use the binders. If I was going just to store them I would use the archival boxes but they are expensive. If they were very valuable documents it would be worth the price. Otherwise I do not have the money to "do it right". Oh course it works for me, you have to decide what to do. I can not tell you which is best just this works for me. I would be interested in otherways which people suggest.</p><p>greg[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
