Flat-File Cabinets — Expert Answer
Are flat-file cabinets suitable for archival document storage?
Steel flat-file cabinets are appropriate for medium-term archival storage in a climate-controlled environment. For true long-term archival applications (50+ years) at museum or library standards, acid-free wooden flat-file cabinets with conservation-quality interiors are specified. For engineering drawings and architectural plans on standard bond paper, steel cabinets provide adequate protection when combined with acid-free interleaving tissue.
