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.
see Figure D.
For this system we use a 3-ring binder, filled with cheap, white, printing 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 image/set -- see Figure 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 is unnecessary.
Storing Unmounted Stamps --
Our trimmed images are stored in clear, numbered CD cases, and kept in regular, commercial
CD racks. This method of storage plugs into an entire storage system which may seem complicated
at first,
but works like a charm...
