Abstract

A storage assemblage is disclosed for cassettes each of which holds an image bearing medium having recorded images and for index print sheets each of which has printed pictures that match the images on the image bearing medium in one of the cassettes. According to the invention, the storage assemblage comprises display containers each of which includes a flat transparent cover and a flat back dimensioned to snugly hold an index print sheet between them with the pictures on the index print sheet visible through the cover. The back has a nest open at an inner side of the back to receive a cassette and projecting from an outer side of the back to hold the cassette out of the way of the index print sheet. A storage box has at least two substantially parallel grooves each of which is configured to receive some of the nests of the respective containers in a line to arrange the covers and backs of the containers whose nests are in the same groove overlapping in an X-direction and to arrange the covers and backs of the containers whose nests are in different grooves overlapping in a Y-direction substantially perpendicular to the X direction, to provide a compact storage facility.
