Kia ora from New Zealand,
We don't have a lot of University memorabilia but we do have some items. We try and follow accepted museum practices for storage, for example:
Clothing such as University blazers are stored flat in steel drawers.
A small University rugby cap is stored in an archival box and has a custom made padded form to maintain the shape.
Metal and ceramic objects are wrapped and stored in suitable size boxes.
These items are stored in our usual archives storage area which has very good environmental controls on temperature and humidity.
We are running short of space generally but do have space and storage equipment to accommodate these kinds of items that are already in the collection. If we had no suitable space I would probably be talking to the local museums to see if we could store such items with them.

Dear fellow members of ICA-SUV,
Could you share where/how do you store physical materials such as university memorabilia, etc?
For those of you with space constraints, how do you tackle the storage issues?
Thank you.
