I have an extra flat file if anyone is interested in it. It's a big boy measuring 47" wide and 36" deep. Just a grey 5 drawer. Not in perfect condition but not roached either. I'm in St.Louis,MO. Message me if interested. Cheers!

Dumb question. Is the concept here to buy a flat file storage cabinet (metal) then line it for archival purposes, put in a museum drop box?

I have enough prints now in my basement in foam core that it's starting to get unruly and looking for a solution that doesn't cost 500-600 dollars.

Shouldn’t cost more than $300 if you check Craig’s list in your area regularly. Once you have it, no museum drop box needed. Just a sheet of glassine in between each print. Increases the safety and enjoyment of your hard-earned collection immeasurably.

There's a free one that popped up in Washington, NJ. Outside looks a bit rough but you never know.
