how do you store your mounted slides ?

[haagen_dazs]

hi
was wondering how people store their mounted slides?

i am looking for the clear plastic sleeves to hold slides
where can i get them?
is there a "technical" word to call them so i can effectively search for them online?
thanks all!

Search for archival storage slides and that should get you where you need to be.

Here is one source:

Isn't one supposed to scan them and then throw them away?

I use the metal slide file boxes.

Did they scan the Federalist Papers and then set fire to them?

Never dispose of your source material.

Scan them and preserve the originals.
