What is the best way to store diskette based software for safe keeping and preservation?
I treat my diskette and cassette software collection like I would comic books. I store them in acid-free zip-lock baggies. Another step that I take is to put a silica-gel packet in each baggie to absorb moisture. Everytime I purchase something and it has a silica-gel packet, I save it in seal-tight container. If you need a lot then head on over to eBay. I purchased a bag of 200 for a couple of dollars. Beyond this, I can’t think of much more you can do besides keeping the stuff in a climate controlled area but that’s a bit overboard for most folks.
