Can the CycleChat collective mind suggest a suitable solution to a problem that's been bugging me for a while?
I have a collection of motor racing memorabilia that I've been putting together since 1987 - a mix of newspaper clippings, race reports, race programmes, magazines, posters, photographic prints of various sizes, smaller sundries and artwork.
It's current home is an arch lever file, most items kept individually in A4 archive wallets. The reason for the arch lever file is not just that I happen to have a lot of bits, but that it's easier to add new stuff to a collection kept in chronological order.
But the file is both battered and overflowing to the point I can barely close the lever ring whachamacallits, and some of the pieces that belong in the collection (mainly magazines and posters) don't fit in A4 wallets. Cutting things down or folding to make them fit in the A4 wallets is not an option.
Now I could keep this stuff in a box, but there's no fun in that. I've been thinking about splitting across multiple folders (e.g. one for each year) and / or using A3 art folios that come with ring binders for the larger items, but this kind of defeats the point of keeping everything in one place.
Can anyone suggest something?
Does a larger-than-A4, double capacity arch lever file exist?
