[or-roots] old photos

You do not want to paste them to any paper, put them in archival safe photo holders, they can even be found at walmart or Fred Meyer's and their are sizes for different sizes of photo's.
Their is acid in some glues and papers that can over time destroy photos so be sure you use only archival safe, or Mylar to put your photos in.
Hope this helps Glen Portland, Or
PS their are several books out on preserving photos.
