Index Card Storage?
mdl | Jul 27 2006
Has anyone found a good, relatively cheap index card file? I use the little plastic boxes but would ideally like to get something with more ample room for my growing index card reference collection. I've hung around on ebay for ages, looking for old library card catalogues. But these get pretty expensive, and many of them are for pick-up only. They can also be pretty dingy. I would love a simple, new index card file (especially one made of wood). The ideal would be a single drawer unit with the possibility of buying additional units. Any ideas? Maybe I'm not looking in the right places... 13 Comments

Recipe cards are usually 3 by 5, so the boxes are useable for any 3 by 5 card collection. You might have to search for the features you want, but Ebay has pages and pages of recipe boxes up for sale. New plain ones are typically available at craft stores, such as JoAnn Fabrics or Michael's, and are often quite reasonable in price. Decorated cardboard boxes often show up at TJ Maxx, Marhsall's and Steinmart, and can be in various sizes suited to 3 by 5 and other card sizes. Gotta think outside the office supply box on this one!
