I thought I'd put this related question open to the group.

I'm looking for 6.5" paper sleeves specifically to archive acetate 
recordings: duodisc, Wilcox-Gay, Federal-Permadisk, Voice-o-graph, 
recordisc... etc.  Obviously they fit in the 7" sleeves, but being so 
delicate, I don't want them sliding around.  I've found info in the ARSC 
archives about 10", 16", 12" and 7" sleeves.. but not sleeves for the 
the common 6.5" discs use din home recording.

Have anyone ever come across a supplier?


thanks in advance.
