For storing your drawings....how large are they? If they aren't huge, you could buy a large drawing pad and place them in between the pages. What is the medium...pencil, ink, chalk....??? It definitely makes a difference.
I agree for storage! I'm an art-ish student (landscape architecture) and we stoere our drawings in between large sheets of paper in the drawing pad. Medium does make a difference too. You can always ask a clerk at your art store too. We also have large portfolios that we store some in too. You can also get a flat file, which is large drawers to store drawings flat. I would not roll them.. (i've had too much experience doing that. they will never go back to flat unless you want to put a lot of effort into it.

Here's what I'm talking about:

Large portfolio:
Prat Start 1 Portfolio - BLICK art materials

flat file:
Safco Facil Flat Files - BLICK art materials

large pads: (depends on the size of your drawings)
Canson Classic Cream Drawing Pad - BLICK art materials

hope that helps!!
