A container for storing photographic prints and negatives. Said container can be molded from sturdy semi-rigid material and includes a base and a lid. The base is constructed so that the interior of the base defines two open storage areas. One storage area is specifically adaptable to storing photographic negatives and subtends the other storage area which is specifically adaptable to storing photographic prints. Both negatives and prints can be stored in the same compartment of the same container yet they can be stored without allowing either the prints or the negatives an excess of space in which to move. These containers are also configured to be stored in a storage box which can hold several containers for easy access and attractive storage.

1. A container for holding photographic prints and negatives, comprising: a substantially rectangular base having a contour which defines an interior area having transverse walls, longitudinal walls and a floor, said floor having at least one raised strip extending upwardly from the floor; a first area for storing photographic negatives within the interior area, said first area being defined by the floor and said raised strips which extend upwardly from the floor; a second area for storing photographic prints within the interior area, said second area extending into the interior area to the top edge of said raised strips and being defined by said transverse and longitudinal walls such that photographic prints are capable of resting between said walls upon said raised strips, said first area being distinct from said second area, said first and second areas being disposed within said interior area such that the first area subtends the second area thereby the interior area is a capable of simultaneously receiving for storage both photographic negatives and photographic prints; and a removable lid for securely covering the interior area of said base. 2. A container as defined in claim 1 wherein said lid is made of a transparent plastic material. 3. A container as defined in claim 1 wherein said base is made of semi-rigid plastic material. 4. A container as defined in claim 1 wherein said raised strips are spaced so that a strip of photographic negatives can rest on the floor between said raised strips or between one of said raised strips and one of the walls of said base. 5. A container as defined in claim 4 wherein said first area is further defined by the interior of the transverse walls of said base. 6. A container as defined in claim 4 wherein said second area is further defined by the raised corners of said base. 7. A container as defined in claim 1 further comprising an insert for disposition between said base and said removable lid, said insert having a window. 8. A container as defined in claim 1 wherein said base has ears which protrude slightly from its corners, which ears correspond to indentations in said lid such that said ears engage said indentations in snapping engagement to secure said lid onto said base. 9. A container as defined in claim 1 wherein said base further comprises a tab for grasping to aid in the removal of said lid from said base. 10. A container as defined in claim 1 wherein the contour of said base and the contour of said lid are adapted to allow a plurality of containers to be securely stacked on top of one another. 11. A container as defined in claim 1 wherein said first area is structured to hold the negatives of a film disk. 12. A container as defined in claim 1 further comprising at least one label for providing thereon printed or written information; said label being attached to the outside of said lid. 13. A container as defined in claim 1 further comprising at least one label for providing thereon printed or written information; said label being attached to the outside of said base. 14. A container as defined in claim 1 wherein said raised strips are spaced so that a strip of photographic negatives can rest on the floor between said raised strips. 15. A container as defined in claim 1 wherein the containers are configurated such a plurality of containers are capable of being stacked one upon another. 16. A container for holding photographic prints and negatives comprising: a substantially rectangular base having a contour which defines an interior area, said contour comprising transverse walls and longitudinal walls, a floor, raised corners within said interior area, and raised strips extending upwardly from the floor for restricting movement of photographic prints and negatives disposed simultaneously within the interior area; a transparent lid constructed to fit securely on said base over the interior area; and an insert for disposition between said base and said lid which rests on said raised corners. 17. A container as defined in claim 16 wherein said interior area comprises a first area for storage of photographic negatives and a second area for storage of photographic prints. 18. A container as defined in claim 17 wherein said first area subtends said second area. 19. A container as defined in claim 17 wherein said first area is a trough defined by the floor of said base, interior walls of said raised strips, and the interior of the transverse walls of said base. 20. A container as defined in claim 17 wherein said second area is a structure defined by the longitudinal walls of said base, the raised corners of said base, and the raised strips; wherein said structure is capable of holding or supporting photographic prints within the second area. 21. A container as defined in claim 17 wherein said first area is structured to hold the negatives of a film disk. 22. A container as defined in claim 16 wherein said lid is made of a transparent plastic material. 23. A container as defined in claim 16 wherein said base is made of semi-rigid plastic material. 24. A container as defined in claim 16 wherein said raised strips are spaced so that a strip of negatives can rest between said raised strips or between said raised strips and the walls of said base. 25. A container as defined in claim 16 wherein said base has ears which protrude slightly from its corners, which ears correspond to indentations in said lid such that said ears engage said indentations in snapping engagement to secure said lid onto said base. 26. A container as defined in claim 16 wherein said base further comprises a tab for grasping to aid in the removal of said lid from said base. 27. A container as further defined in claim 16 comprising at least one label for providing thereon printed or written information; said label being attached to said container. 28. A system for storing photographic prints and negatives comprising: at least one container comprising a substantially rectangular base having a contour which defines an interior area, having transverse walls, longitudinal walls and a floor, said floor having at least one raised strip extending upwardly from the floor; a first area for storing photographic negatives within the interior area, said first area being defined by the floor and said raised strips which extend upwardly from the floor; a second area within the interior area, for storing photographic prints, said second area extending into the interior area to the top edge of said raised strips and being defined by said longitudinal and transverse walls such that photographic prints are capable of resting upon said raised strips, said first area being distinct from said second area wherein said first and second areas are disposed within said interior area such that the first area subtends the second area thereby the interior area is capable of simultaneously receiving for storage both photographic negatives and photographic prints; a removable lid for securely covering the interior area of said base; and a box for holding a plurality of said containers. 29. A system as defined in claim 28 further comprising at least one label for providing thereon printed or written information; said label being attached to the outside of said base. 30.
