Answer 1

I did go to the site of Staples, as I know that is a big firm both in the USA and UK, but the kind of firm exist in all countries I have ever been.
Google for your local chain.

All suplies they offer for filing can be used. Which ones suit you best depends on what you want.
And if you do not need as professional appearance, old shoe boxes, envelopes, even cornflaces boxes have been used.

If you want to keep a book with clippings of your personal appearances in newspapers, you can go to a local craft store and look into scrap booking supplies.

Just mark the box or folder, store on date and topic and mark each clipping with date, paper and page and topic. With that info you can re-arrange your collection at need.

Answer 2

You can store them anywhere you want where they won't get much wear and tear.

If you want to keep them from browning though, you'll have to keep them in acid-free thingies, or you might be interested in this recipe to keep them from browining with age and exposure to air:

Well, If you don't actually need the physical copy, you could always scan them. If you need the physical copy, then scanning would provide you with a backup copy if anything happened to the originals.
