I would also recommend Talas (https://www.talasonline.com/) and Hollinger M
etal Edge (https://www.hollingermetaledge.com/).
Talas is quite competitive price-wise, even with the 18% Gaylord discount. H
ollinger is usually willing to provide a discount code if you explain that y
ou are a small, non-profit historical society (contact their customer servic
e about requesting a discount).
Alternatively, it is way cheaper to make your own boxes. It takes more time b
ut it is very cost-effective if you have the time. I have taught box-making (
container/enclosure-making) classes at the annual Wisconsin Historic Preserv
ation and Local History meetings. I also provide the training on-site for hi
storical societies.
Good luck!
