Of course that's only about an hour's worth, tops.

When I was working as a projectionist in the late 90s and early 2000s, they came in slightly shiny, brightly coloured, possily nylon plastic cases with a hinged lid and divided slots inside for up to (as I recall) six reels, or perhaps it was five. The grim prospect of movies that needed more than one case was not popular.

Got photos of them?

Got photos of the projection booth? Projector ephemera?
