<DIV>There are many systems on the market to sort and store your photos
in. The most important issue is to make sure they are archival safe.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Older photo albums with magnetic paper will trap vapors that will destroy
the pictures over time. Most of the albums, scrapbooking papers, and
adhesives manufactured today are acid free, look for this on the
labels.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>As to putting them in an album that is the best way to protect
them. </DIV>
<DIV>I usually first decide the theme of the album.</DIV>
<DIV>Book of Me</DIV>
<DIV>Faithbooking</DIV>
<DIV>Time line</DIV>
<DIV>Heritage</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Then I place the pictures that I want on the same page together, place a
piece of colored paper / stickers that I want with them, cover them with a white
piece of paper, then place the next group of pictures on top with papers and
stickers and cover with white paper. Doing as many pages as I have time
for. This is power sorting. I then place this in a box. Next
time I have time to work I can take this box out turn it over and am ready to
place the pictures in the album with suggested colored papers and
stickers. It makes album making go a little quicker</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I believe that it is very important to label each pictures with date,
place, event, people. We are making albums so that those in the future
know who we are. It is a shame to say, Yes this is someone in the family
but no one knows her name.</DIV>

style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent" face=Arial color=#000000 size=2>OK, so I
am trying really hard to get organized. I just went through a<BR>dozen
on photo albums and took out the ones I wanted to keep. My
question<BR>is the best way to keep them.<BR><BR>So far I have seperated them
by each person. Fortunately the ones with two<BR>ancestors seem to also
have at least 2 copies. So now i have a bunch of<BR>pictures in big 9 X
12 envelopes.<BR><BR>What is the best way to file these? I figure I will
be putting them into<BR>protective sheeting of some kind. Do I paste the
smaller ones onto a 8 1/2<BR>X 11 piece of paper with annotations?<BR><BR>help
