Hi Jim,
That's one of the aspects of the Logan boxes I was unsure of. I had read in
some reviews that the plastic inlays were flimsy. Is this true? Do they also
come with dividers to separate series of slides? Do you have the 1-tier or the
2-tier boxes?
My total slide count isn't up to 10 000 yet - probably more like 3000-4000 -
but I'm still shooting slides albeit at a reduced rate these days. However I'd
like the storage system I choose to be expandable, if need be, without taking
up too much space. I'm guessing 5 or 6 of the Logan boxes would probably be all
I'd need and at the current price that wouldn't be too expensive. At my current
rate I'll probably be shooting almost exclusively digital by the time I reach
10 000 slides.
Regards

Subject: Re: [OM] Archival slide storage
Duncan,
I have used the Logan boxes for year, but I am not thinking that they
are truly archival, I don't really trust the plastic tray that holds the
slides, they would also be fairly pricey for the amount of slides you
are talking about. They are not particularly dust tight either, but not bad.
The second solution looks to be more archival, and probably more
affordable, but a bit more difficult to get into.
I have fewer slides than you, and am in the process of moving them into
archival pages. I rarely view mine via projector anymore, and it is far
easier to find an individual slide (which I am more likely to do) when
they are in pages. Part of the process is to edit and toss the bad
slides as I am going through them.
