Dear Colleagues

We have recently been donated a Torah. Could anybody advise me on an appropriate storage box and conditions for a Torah (consisting of wooden rollers, the scroll itself and a velvet mantle)?

Traditionally a scroll is stored standing upright; is this the preferred archival storage condition or should I aim for a horizontal storage?

Many thanks
