Got a question for you experts about photo preservation. Have recently acquired a family photo album where most of the pictures are almost 100 years old. They are on the heavy card stock and in one of those padded velvet albums, but the album itself is falling apart. I intend to scan all these so that I can share them with various family members. But when I take them out of the album it may tear the pages slightly. Am I better off to put them back in this album and keep them that way or should I put them in protective covers and store in a different notebook? Some of them are tin types. What is the best way to preserve them? Pat "Patricia Kantzer" <mkdoc@roadrunner.com>
