Jamie - It truly is not as difficult as you may think.
You may want to call the Image Permanence Institute in Rochester for any
flyers on how to deal with the microenvironments within the freezer but the
actual freezer can be a basic frost free style bought at your local stores.
Usually upright styles are best and are easier to access, however, it is
more important to house the photography material correctly to allow for
condensation and insulation inside the freezer. Expert advice then will be
necessary and IPI is the best place to look.
I'm sure they will have something readily available to help you.
Best wishes,
