Hi everyone,

I am just about to take charge of a collection of approximately 9,000 glass
plate negatives and lantern slides that are currently filed in wooden
drawers in a very old cabinet, without archival enclosures. Can anyone
recommend an appropriate modern cabinet? I'm having trouble finding a metal
cabinet with small drawers (the plates are 5"x4"). What are the alternatives?

I'd be very grateful for some advice.

Thanks,

Tiffany.
