That is pretty much the standard.

You need to keep the sleeves in an archival box also.

You can find a lot of info and supplies at Light Impressions.

In Houston we can buy them in a camera store.
Buy sleeves that match the number of frames per strip as your scanner film holder. If your scanner accepts 6 frame strips, buy sleeve pages that hold 6 frame strips, etc.

Freestyle Photo sells a wide variety. Support real camera/film retailers. We need them.
