I use creative memories power sort boxes. I had thousands of photos to sort and store! I also have twice that many digital photos. I lead a very large scrapbooking group online and a very knowledgeable one locally. It is very important that you store your photos in a photo safe environment. It is just as important as using photo safe supplies in your album. Whatever you store your photos in WILL impact your photos. The CM large photo storage box holds about 1200 photos and allows you to sort them into little compartments. This is a wonderful feature as you can just grab one small compartment and scrap from that without carrying around a large box or having to sort through a whole box to find what you are looking for. You can see these at http://preview.tinyurl.com/329jux (which will only be good for a month). After that, you can find them at the CreativeMemories.com site. It seriously saved me. I was able to sort everything and have it make sense.

I also suggest going through your photos and NOT keeping any that aren't worth scrapping. If they are too blurry or too dark, there is no reason to keep them. If you can barely tell what the subject is, future generation will not be able to. The whole point of scrapping is saving memories :) It really only takes 1-8 or 10 photos to successfully scrap an event (usually). Then with journaling, you've got it preserved! :) I get asked this a lot in the group.

Good luck, hope that helps.
