I am currently working on a collection that has CD Roms in it.  They are in various cases (cardboard, plastic).  I have a fairly simple question (I think).  Is it preferable to keep the media inside the case it comes in or should I take them out and put them into CD sleeves?  Will the acids in the cardboard and anything else negatively affect the integrity of the media?
 
Also, are there good white papers on this subject? A posting from the Archives & Archivists LISTSERV List sponsored by the Society of American Archivists, www.archivists.org. For the terms of participation, please refer to http://www.archivists.org/listservs/arch_listserv_terms.asp.
