Thanks for the input, David, but the Light Impression boxes are too
shallow--the dolls would get their faces smooshed.  What is needed is long,
relatively narrow & deep.  I've looked at commercial (e.g. Rubbermaid)
plastic boxes, and the proportions are wrong.  I need something specialized,
and was hoping someone was making them somewhere.  Here's an idea for some
enterprising box company--there are tons of doll collections and collectors
out there that can't display them all.  Deborah

Deborah,

Such boxes are generally available from archive-supply houses. Try Light
Impressions
www.lightimpressionsdirect.com

Good luck.  David
