In a recent twitter conversation with fellow bloggers
Michael Crawford (
@ProgressCityUSA) and
Ryan Wilson (
@MainStGazette), we discussed storage methods for some of our oversized Disney publications. Specifically, the
Eyes & Ears Cast Member publication from Walt Disney World.
As you can see, the
Eyes & Ears is quite large, even for an oversized periodical. It measures in at 11" X 17"!
For most of my other magazines (like
The E-Ticket,
Disney Files,
Disney News,
Disneyland Line and
Disney Newsreel) I can fit them inside of large sheet protectors that fit inside of scrapbooking notebooks. Keeps them in one place and nicely organized.
None of us had a great solution to the problem on storing the large
Eyes & Ears. Ryan was using foam-core and poster-board to stack and separate his collection. Michael had purchased some storage tubbies to keep his in. When the Imaginerding staff was shopping at Target the other day, we saw this
Sterilite 4 Drawer Storage Cart that looked big enough to hold the
Eyes & Ears.
When we got it home, the
Eyes & Ears fit perfectly in the drawers. The smaller top drawers were great for putting my regular-sized magazines until they could be filed. The only drawback was that the magazines did make the drawers rather heavy; you need to be careful when opening them!
A map filing system or lateral file would be great, too. Just as long as you keep them safe and away from dark, moist places.

Interesting.... very nice!
The photo of the binder with the WDW end-of-stay envelope in it makes me feel better that I'm not the only one with a binder full of such odd treasures!
I want to see the rest of that book case!
I won about a dozen EYES AND EARS in a raffle at MouseFest one year. I decided to frame them and hang them in my "long-a** hallway". I realize I cannot read them when they are in a frame, but the covers are so awesome, I'm ok with that. They are too big for my flatbed scanner, otherwise I'd share. Maybe I should just take pictures...

Ed, I keep everything...thanks to my wife!
Donnie, the one in the sot is one of two. It is the Disney Company, biographies, animation, etc. shelf. The other side of the window is the theme park shelf.
Tink, I have thought of framing them many times. They are gorgeous! What about a few shots of your framed ones?
i have everything in two giant storage bins. i usually keeps items in the mailer they were sent to me.
my collection looks like a bunch of bubble mailers stacked on top of each other.
Great post! I love seeing other people's Disney ephemera collection and how they store/display their items. I have been wondering how to store my E&E for a long time. I may try out those plastic drawers.
