Alan,
You can make boxes yourself. It is relatively easy and less expensive than having custom boxes made if all you need is small number of straightforward boxes. If you are unfamiliar with the materials or technique, check out this CCI note http://www.cci-icc.gc.ca/publications/notes/11-1-eng.aspx I would be careful with getting having a wooden box build since wood can be very damaging, especially to paper/photographs. The damages is increased in enclosed areas such as a drawer.
Good luck!
