Just keep them in their sleeves and stand them up on edge in a temperature and humidity controlled environment and you're good. By "controlled environment," I just mean indoors at a comfortable temperature rather than in the attic or storage shed.
As for display, if you have very few, you could display each like a photograph, just as long as they are standing on their edges and inside their sleeves. The vertical orientation helps protect the grooves from crushing, warping and other mechanical damage. The sleeves protect them from dust.
I think most people store them like books on a shelf though. This allows a lot of records to be stored in a relatively small space. Don't pack them too tightly though, or it's not much better than a horizontal stack. The whole reason we don't store them horizontally is the weight of the records will compress the vinyl on the bottom of the stack. So by the same token, pack them loosely when putting them on the shelf so there is no crushing force.

I didn't want that to happen to my records, so I purchased something to keep them neat, tidy and safe. ]]>TheWanderer2019-02-26T17:02:48-00:00Re: Display or no?

Time and money allotted, that's what I would do.]]>Azuri2019-05-10T16:50:28-00:00Re: Display or no?

My sister (Lost the Remote) and I found our dad's record collection when we were cleaning up his stuff after he passed away. I display the ones that were signed by the artist since they were obviously important to Dad. I have them standing in a glass cabinet away from sunlight. I turn them every now and then since that's what the advice I found said to do. Maybe you could display your favorites and tuck away the rest.
I've seen some cool projects on Pinterest with old records that are no longer salvageable. After I get the acoustics fixed in this apartment I'm going to work on something creative. Maybe I'll do something with his old records that won't play. ]]>Madison2019-06-29T14:25:39-00:00Re: Display or no?
