For this system we use a 3-ring binder, filled with cheap, white, copy paper,
and page dividers (to separate pages/images into categories or themes )...
---
As each new image (or set of images) is added to our collection, we trim the rubber, then stamp a copy of the image onto
a corresponding category page
of the binder.
--- A number is placed beside the stamped image -- Photo
A
Note: To create a total reference guide, we also record the
date the image was acquired, the price we paid for it, and its company of origin, but for storage
purposes, this
extra referencing is unnecessary.
--- The image is placed in a regular CD case (plastic insert removed). Photo

--- The CD's "spine" is then labeled with the image's assigned number from the notebook. Photo C
With
spine and number facing outward, the CD is placed in the storage rack -- We keep the numbers sequenced, so a new addition to
the rack, is simply placed
in the next available slot. Photo D
