I think you DON'T want buffered materials for photos - seems like there
was an issue with buffering materials and photographic emulsions, or
something...can't recall off the top of my head.  I would recommend some
sort of folder or other kind of enclosure (two pieces of acid-free board
and some cotton twill tape, for example) to support your pieces when you
take them out of the drawer, and to keep things from getting bent or
lost as the contents of the drawer shift around.  Otherwise, acid-free
tissue or glassine should do the trick, right folks?

Best wishes,
Tim
