At the Container Store I got clear photo boxes that were great for my needs, but I don't know if they are archival--oddly, I didn't think to check for that. Each plastic box will hold about 100 photos, and you can get a bigger slotted box to put them in that holds about 8 or one that holds about 16, so it holds a ton of them; And the big box has a handle. They go on sale every so often. I just did a search there for "photo storage" and a number of archival boxes came up. Nancy
