Dawn,

The best shelving for your uses will depend on the weight and dimensions of
what you plan to put on them. If you're using standard 10x12x15 records
boxes for anything, I highly recommend the record carton storage shelves
sold by archives suppliers Gaylord Bros. (phone 800-448-6160) or Metal Edge
(phone 800-862-2228). They provide strong, high-density storage for these
boxes. We tried a couple and now plan to furnish our new building with them.

Good luck!

Best wishes,
