Archival Solution of the Week: Collector Grade 3-Ring Binders<\/span><\/h2>\n <\/p>\n
As one of the most versatile archival products we offer, Archival Methods’ Collector Grade 3-Ring Binders<\/a> quickly bring order and organization to any collection of prints, photographs, postcards, letters, documents, slides and dozens of other types of collectibles and artifacts from your family archive. <\/span><\/p>\nOne should not confuse these high-quality binders with inexpensive vinyl-clad \u201cschool binders\u201d often found at your local office supply store. Many of those vinyl and other low quality binders are responsible for damaging problems such as image transfer, acid migration, and “out-gassing” (that unpleasant “vinyl \/ plastic” smell we’re all familiar with). It’s one thing if you are filing office papers, but if you are organizing valuable collectibles, family photographs and important memories you should only use binders that meet the very highest museum-quality standards: Archival Methods’ Collector Grade 3-Ring Binders!<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n

A premium slant-style D-ring assembly, with a rugged tab-actuated locking mechanism, is securely riveted to the back inside cover\u2014rather than the spine\u2014as this facilitates ease-of-use (see photos below). This D-ring design is used as it will hold more pages than traditional O-ring binders. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n

One should not confuse these high-quality binders with inexpensive vinyl-clad \u201cschool binders\u201d often found at your local office supply store. Many of those vinyl and other low quality binders are responsible for damaging problems such as image transfer, acid migration, and “out-gassing” (that unpleasant “vinyl \/ plastic” smell we’re all familiar with). It’s one thing if you are filing office papers, but if you are organizing valuable collectibles, family photographs and important memories you should only use binders that meet the very highest museum-quality standards: Archival Methods’ Collector Grade 3-Ring Binders!<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n A high-quality binder board core is bound in library-grade buckram with an acid-free card stock lining. A premium slant-style D-ring assembly, with a rugged tab-actuated locking mechanism, is securely riveted to the back inside cover\u2014rather than the spine\u2014as this facilitates ease-of-use (see photos below). This D-ring design is used as it will hold more pages than traditional O-ring binders. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n High-quality locking D-rings (left, and below) ready for secure riveting into a black Collector Grade 3-Ring Binder<\/a> (right \/ red rectangle) in Archival Methods’ on-premisis facility. This in-house manufacturing capability allows us to exercise unparalleled quality control, providing you with industry-leading (and guaranteed!) workmanship and materials.<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Sizes Available:<\/b> These high-quality binders are offered in two ring sizes: our 1-1\/2\u201d rings hold 60 pages with prints, while our 2-1\/2\u201d rings hold 85 pages with prints.<\/span><\/p>\n Each binder will hold pages up to 10-1\/2\u201d x 11-3\/4\u201d, accommodating a variety of storage pages for prints, slides, documents and negatives (please click here<\/a> for a complete list of archival-quality print and slide pages).<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Slip Cases:<\/b> To create an even safer, dust-resistant storage environment, select a binder with a black slip case. They offer yet another layer of protection by providing a further barrier against dust, moisture and household pollutants. They look great, and allow you to line your shelves with your most important binders always at your fingertips.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Archival-Quality Pages to Fit Your Every Need:<\/strong> <\/span>Pages are the most popular way of organizing, filing and protecting conventional and digital prints, 35mm slides and a broad range of letters, documents and collectibles. Print and document pockets will hold two same-size prints back to back, so page capacity can be doubled! (Please click here<\/a> for a complete list of archival-quality print and slide pages.)<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Archival Methods’ Collector Grade 3-Ring Binders being used to store 35mm slides on the left, and letters from the family archive on the right. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Features:<\/b> Our heavy-weight, high clarity, archivally-safe polypropylene print and slide pages are thicker and stronger than most other such pages (with a total thickness of 9 mil), so they will not tear, wrinkle or distort. They are three-hole punched for use with our Collector Grade 3-Ring Binders<\/a>, Binder-In-A-Box<\/a> and RingFolio Binder Box<\/a>, and each type and size of page we offer will provide you with years and years of safe archival protection for your most cherished family artifacts, photographs and collectibles.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n If you have questions or would like more information on the archival storage and presentation materials that are right for you, please contact us<\/a> here at Archival Methods.
