[Paddlewise] Storing/protecting all those charts

Ok, after enough years of sea kayaking, one tends to accumulate quite a
batch of charts, each measuring something like 3 feet x 4 feet.  I've got
maybe 20 of these, ranging from good-as-new to barely-holding-together.
Assuming one doesn't have room to store them flat, what fiendishly clever
ways have people found to store them in any sort of organized way?



Second question:  I read in "Camping's Top Secrets" that Thomson Water Seal,
intended for sealing concrete, works for treating maps.  Has anyone ever
tried this (or another product they would recommend)?  I tried a bunch of
sealers in the past and was disappointed that most made the paper brittle
and/or turned a dark yellow after a while.
