Storage

How do you people store your negatives and photographs?

I've put most of my better photos into cheap albums to save them from getting scratched but I have loads that although not scrap I would like to keep them as references, memories or possible rescues later when I've learnt a bit more about PS.

I've also got loads of negatives that, although I'll probably never need them, I'd still like to keep safe and in a way that at least I'll have a chance of finding what I'm looking for when I need to!

Any suggestions appreciated!

Negative are in the original covers from various proscessing places. These are then stored (numbered) in two large-ish IKEA wooden boxes (£5.00 I think).

Slides stored in folders on the wardrobe out of the sun.

Digital stored by date ordered folder in date-Number sequence (31052005-001).

All being currently listed on MS Excel.

I take my negs, make a contact sheet, tape the contact sheet on a manilla envelope, write the roll # and date on the envelope, put each strip of negs into its own little plastic baggie and put those in the envelope.
