Only thing I would add to that is....use pencil on the photos [ the choice of most archivists], then put them in poly photo sleeves or pages [ light impressions in Rochester, NY has them or ask a photo store]. Then you can put a label [I use cut up blank address labels] on the poly sleeve [ in ink or sharpie or whatever]...Keep photos together with other photos, don't mix them in with paper items. Some acid free pens will still bleed through the photo. I put the poly pages [10 -3x5 photos per page-both sides] into an archival three ring binder album. With the labels on the outside of the photo, there is less handling of the photos and others can easily look through the album.

I have many wonderful pictures I treasure and have scanned them and put them on a CD disk. You can bring the pictures up on your CD disk at anytime and print them or send them via e-mail. You can also have a slide show on the computer so everyone can see them at once. I have burned copies of the CD disk for other family members too. These processes are not difficult to do.
