Scrapbook albums provide flexibility when it comes to photos of different orientations and photos of different sizes (particularly heritage photos). Scrapbook albums also allow you to include memorabilia such as certificates, newspaper articles etc.

Displayed photos help us remember people, places and occasions. Just as how you store your photos is important for longevity, how you display your photos is equally important.

The way you store photos is very important. Original photos can be damaged by acid, lignin (yellowing), light, heat, moisture/humidity, human neglect, vermin and other animals.

Organise your photos- broadly, generally and specifically.

What photos do you keep?

• What will these images mean to future generations? Prioritise those older photos.

• Focus on photos of specific people and places.

• If you have multiple versions of the same scene, pick the best one: the one with the most people looking at the camera, the least blurry, and so on.

• Get rid of duplicates. All you need is one original and a high-resolution scan. You can offer extra copies to interested family members.
