[DCRM-L] storage of single-sheet items in large flat folders

[Manon Theroux]

This is not strictly a cataloging question but I do need to address the
issue in some local cataloging documentation I'm preparing, so I hope no
one minds if I send it to this list:

When storing large single-sheet items such as maps, graphics, broadsides,
etc., in acid-free folders and stacking those folders inside the drawers of
a large flat file cabinet, is it better to store the folders with the
folded edge to the front or the back? And why ...

Also, if anyone can pass along any citations to good documentation on the
general topic of storing large single-sheet items, that would be especially
welcome.

Thanks!
Manon
