Are acid-free sheet protectors made with sections like 4x6 or 5x7. I am not sure how to store the envelopes with the letters. The letters are on narrow note-book paper and are written on the front and back in pencil. There are many receipts for things like land payments or payments for hogs, mules, hats, etc. The letters were correspondence between a mother and sisters with their two brothers who were stationed in France in WWi and in a military hospital in Georgia. Please advise the best way to try and organize all of this information.

Sigh. But what you wrote makes sense. I'll be looking at a way to make more space to store them on their sides. Thanks for the suggestion!
