Hello Beau-

The best way to store the notes is to place them into individual
inert/archival plastic sleeves. These sleeves can then be stored in
archival safe boxes. 

Any full-service coin shop will carry "currency sleeves" in various
sizes. Be sure you insist that they do not contain the plasticizer PVC
(polyvinyl chloride). All archival safe currency sleeves are free of
PVC.

Congrats on your find!

Lane
