OT: storing CDs & DVDs (was Re: Archiving images on DVD?)

2006-03-19 by Sam McCandless

All of Howard's post is interesting to me, but I'm trying to divide 
and conquer the archiving problem, and to focus in this thread on 
storage unit(s) for CDs and DVDs (which would be complementary to 
hard drives).

The oak cases Howard's firm uses are attractive, but I'd also like to 
have some recommendations on plastic or metal storage cases.

I never expect to have many discs to store. I'm thinking about 
keeping a few in a safe deposit box, in something small enough for 
that if jewel cases aren't protection enough inside a safe deposit 
box. A duplicate set of those might be stashed in something 
protective in the trunk of my getaway (from earthquakes & floods) 
car. And many more discs, if still not very many for a photographer, 
I'd keep at home, maybe a hundred?

Thanks.
