Is anyone aware of albums or pages (ideally three-ring binder compatible) which would hold stamps or covers without adhesive or damage to the contents ? The concept is addressed here (link below), although I expect that the ones referenced would not be archival.

You do not want to use the self-adhesive photo albums. The adhesive is highly acidic. It will not only damage the stamps that are stuck to it, but over time will damage the photos as well.
When collecting stamps, use items that are designed for stamps.
If you do not want to use traditional, printed albums, you can always use stock books, or stock pages that will have holes punched for use in a standard three-ring binder.
If you go the cheap route now, you'll pay for it later with a worthless collection.

For 3 ring binder adaptability Vario is one brand thats makes a variety of sizes and there are many others. For example Vario 2S is cover sized. The number indicates the number of rows on the page.

Preface: to clarify, I'm not looking for an album for self-adhesive stamps.
