I have some old Japanese prints that date back to the early 1800s. I had them framed with an acid free mat and uv glass protection. Do you think it's a good idea? I choose the basement because it's the darkest part in my house and temperature doesn't change throughout the seasons. But some people argue that no matter where you place them it will be damaged and should be put away in an acid-free folder and viewed when ever you want.
Great article! As Australia's only certified Photo Organisers we would love to help the Daddo family and others organise, utilise and enjoy their photos.
Hi again Diana. Caroline suggests you use archival quality (non acidic) photo corners of a size suitable for that size photo. They are available from camera, photo shops, scrapbooking suppliers etc. Good luck!
At 1:48 of this video, you show the photos in clear page protectors, which I assume are the part of the archival album you speak of. The only ones I have found to purchase are either like yours that are one big sheet for a large photo or ones that hold specific sizes like a 4x6. I have a lot of pictures that are all different sizes like you show in this video. How have you attached the pictures to the page to hold them safely in place?
I have an antique picture of my grandma. It's out of a curved glass frame. I was wondering if it would be safe to spray it with a protective coating once I'm done restoring it?
I pray to God to give you a lot of beautiful days and you know God loves us so much,So where are you originally from? I am David originally from Spain but currently living in Texas now....
Good advice, especially digitizing photos before storing them safely. If flatbed scanners and photo-cropping software aren't your thing, try Pic Scanner, app for iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch that lets you scan multiple photos simultaneously, then automatically crops and saves all.

Yes that is what archivists do ... My daughter did research at Cornell university. She wore gloves. I had the great opportunity to have seen some of the Fotos and documents....original Fotos and documents of legendary writers of the 18th century.....it was awesome just to be in the presence of those items!!!!
