How Do Your Store Photos?

I have hundreds of physical photos that I want to file away in photo albums. The only problem is I have only ever seen big bulky photo albums and they take up so much space. Seeing as I am currently in another of my "clutter 101" mindsets I?m curious as to what other storage options are out there that allow for easy viewing and are space efficient. If anybody has any thoughts, ideas or suggestions (that don't involve me going digital, I keep my photos on my comp too :p ) then I would love to hear about it.

Btw, I've posted this on my blog as well. I'm trying to encourage a bit of commenting on it, but I figure I will probably get more response here. If you were to leave a response there I would be grateful, but I obviously wouldn't expect you to leave a response in 2 places :)

I have seen slimmer albums that are about the size of a larger trade paperback. Photo boxes work well and you can sort them like the card catalog at the library but this isn’t easy for viewing.

I have seen slim inserts for A4 files. A friend uses these clear inserts to cover his walls with photos.

Another option was a bag I saw today that had panels for photos to be inserted. Use these for the weekly shop and you can stop using disposable bags as well :)
