Hi List, I have been very fortunate to be given old photos of the family trees in my husband's family/ families and they have been stored in a cardboard boxes for years before I was given them. I would really prefer to be able to purchase archival photo albums to display them in. I live in S A and was wondering if any Lister/ Listers could please advise me where I can purchase a few of these albums, I guess it the city or suburbs of S A ? Many thanks in advance, Kind regards, Judy.

Hi Judy I have bought a fair few Albox archival photo albums to store my 6 x 4 photos before I bought a digital camera. Now I only store my photos on the computer and don't print them. The Albox albums are good as they have loose plastic sleeves which store four of the 6 x 4 photos on each side and have a provision for a captions. You slide the photos into pockets and the captions slide in also (after you have written on them). I used to buy these albums in Brisbane but now the shop that sold them has closed down and there does not seem to be anywhere I can buy them locally. I did not really want to buy another album but just some of the loose sleeves to put in (like you) old photos my parents had. The last album I bought still has a few vacant sleeves left in it but I may need to buy some more. However the old photos are of different (smaller) sizes and would be too small to put into the 6 x 4 pockets as they would move all over the place. I solved the problem by cutting out pieces of 6 x 4 copy paper (I used 90 gsm) and fastening the photos to them using photo corners and then sliding those into the pockets in the album. I type up a caption in a spreadsheet in the computer and cut them out with scissors but the albums used to come with a provision for captions also. Found the Albox company on the net and they are in Hindmarsh in SA as luck would have it. I shall forward to you off-list the email they sent me.

Have you tried GOULD BOOKS at Mmodbury/Tea Tree GULLY for your special photo folders? They are on the internet for all sorts of genealogical needs.
