There have been a few articles published in the journal "Collection
Forum" by The Society for the Preservation of Natural History
Collections (SPNHC) over the years.  Back issues can be accessed at:

The U.S. National Park Service (NPS) has articles on the curation of
malacological materials in their Conserv-O-Gram Series:

This article is concerned more with archaeological shells and
conservation treatments, however, it also has storage
recommendations:
