There are many places that sell archival safe pages and even the "RingFolio Binder Box" to store old precious pictures in. (You can use ringed notebooks too but should be archival safe. They even have sleeves to slide ringed notebooks in.) About ten years ago I purchased Binder Boxes for all of my old family pictures. My pictures are completely surrounded by the box but you can open the top portion and it lays back. (Enclosed boxes help keep dust and other contaminates out.) Inside each box are rings that I fasten my various sizes of archival safe sleeves onto. I also use archival safe pens that write on archival safe slips of paper that slip into a pocket on the sleeve. They even have archival safe corner and etc. to fasten the pictures down with if you prefer to fasten them on acid free paper. Please store in a climate controlled environment or you may waste your effort. Often when I scan a archived picture I leave it in its sleeve so I do not leave new finger print smudges on it. This has worked for me and my ancestor's pictures are still resting well after ten years. Here are some websites to check out. The first is for the boxes I just described. http://www.archivalmethods.com/category.cfm?categoryid=8 http://www.lightimpressionsdirect.com/servlet/OnlineShopping Jean grannyroots@iowatelecom.net or jeansjots@yahoo.com "Watch What You Say or Do, You Might Sell Your Parrot To The Town Gossip and If You Don't Have A Parrot Someone Above May Be Watching You" Every Name Index: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~jeanlee Register Reports: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~jeanlee/ leepergenealogical.html Cemetery project: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~jeanlee/ cemeteriesmarionhenry.htm
