    Storing 5x4 Polaroid Prints

    Any tips on best way to do this other than cutting custom mounts? Anyone know of any archival boxes/sleeves etc? I have looked around but drawn a blank...

    thanks in advance

    Alan,

    I store my 4x5 polaroid prints in glassine envelopes. Some have been stored this way for over 20 years!

    I have a series of Polaroids that I made in Athens Greece in 1973 that are displayed under plexiglass that are still good.
