Geek love (and grey boxes)

Anyone who has a history researching background — and is a certified geek — can appreciate my joy! My order of Hollinger boxes have arrived! Those lovely dove-grey archival boxes with the metal fittings on the corners. (I realized my collection of Universalist ephemera needed extra care.)

Good for church archives, of course. Quilters use them, too.

I was happy with Genealogical Storage Products, which is either a contractor for, or is owned by, the Hollinger Corporation itself. And the prices were the best I found.

  1. I just compared a few prices here with Bill Cole (of whom i havent bought anything in years due to high prices), and was surprised at the vast price difference…..
