There are several companies that supply specialist archival (i.e. storage) materials to museums and historical societies. I haven't need to buy anything in several years so I don't have the names of any to give you right now, but I think an internet search using key words like: archival, acid-free, buffered might help you find a supplier for storage materials.
A visit to the curatorial offices of a nearby art museum might yield a couple of good leads and maybe even a free catalog from one of the museum's suppliers...
Keep in mind that the storage matrerials that will best protect your investment may not immediately lend themselves to a sexy display of the stuff you've collected. You will probably have to make some sort of compromise.
