If you want to truly have the best longevity in your material, I have heard there is archival ink to use also. I have never tried it however. Lilke you, I have been satisfied with using the archival paper and sleeves. Don't use the plastic notebooks. They are not archival safe. Use f paper ones if you can find them. Newspaper should never be placed with things you want to keep. They cause destruction too. I copy them to add in and then place the originals in a separate place. For pictures I have gone back to albums with the black sheets of paper to place them on. Light causes them to fade more rapidly and it makes sense that white is not the right color to use. My old photo album from childhood was black paper. Maybe they knew what they were about. Fran
