The British Library is now using a series of
vertical "drawers" or sliding frames to show a major stamp collection. This may
be of interest to you, as it keeps the the stamps free of light when they
are not being viewed, and the drawers can be made quite robust to withstand
constant use.
Another plus is the use of space. Although the
system needs a false wall to hold the unused images, they are invisible when not
in use, and the space seems less cluttered. The area below the sliding frames
could be used for horizontal drawers for flat storage of other
materials.
If properly made, frames and drawers can be
microclimate controlled for humidity.
