[BCMA] Shelves - bound newspaper volumes

[Moderated BCMA subscriber listserv.]

We purchases EZ Rect steel shelving for our museum from Barnes Equipment in 
Kelowna.
 No bolts were required and it fit together easily. ( a bit heavy so you 
will want a couple of guys to help).
We purchased units that were 4 feet in length, 7 feet high and 24" wide for 
artifacts.
  I  believe we ordered 6 steel shelves per unit - They come in different 
lengths,widths and heights.
 We purchased 4 units for archives with shelves that were 18" wide.
These are heavy duty but you may want to know what the weight bearing
capacity is -- as it varies somewhat but the quality is excellent.
You may try to find a supplier near you bearing in mind the costs of
shipping - unless it is included.
Best,
Gayle Cornish
