Thank you, Darin. Your suggestions do, indeed, help.

Marilyn,
In the past I have had upwards of several hundred framed pieces (limited
editions ready to sell) which I have had to store. If you are not
anticipating shipping them, the technique I used will be more
wallet-friendly than the boxes.
I wrapped them with a spare roll of Kraft paper, the same type I used for
the backing, sealing it with masking tape. If your wire (I'm assuming
you're
using picture wire on the back) is attached with screw-eyes (standing out
from the frame) place a piece of corrugated cardboard between them so the
screw-eyes don't punch through. If you're using the flush-mounted
"D-rings"
this step isn't necessary. Label each so you know what's what.
I then cleared a bookshelf in the corner of my studio, and raised the
shelves to accommodate the frames. If you do this, and stack them in like
books, face to face, back to back, you should be golden. For an added
layer
of security, you might want to close them in with a large sheet of
cardboard
(available at your local Chinese-wares-hawking mass retailer for free; I
used broken-down cases that Brawny paper towels came in.) Plus, if it's
ugly
enough, anyone who breaks in won't try to steal your framed art! ;-)
Hope this helps!

Can some of you please tell me how you store your framed photographs. I
will soon have over sixty pieces, sizes from 11X14 up to 20X24 in frames,
that must remain in the frames until next year and I'm finding it hard to
store them safely.
