Hi Keith

..and don't forget that you should store them with acid-free wrappings when you've finished.

Everything Keith, everything ;D

Actually, I didn't see your comment about the photo album. It's just that I had it drummed into me by my photography tutor about acid free - you'd think that we were a load of junkies 8) 8) 8)

Maybe you could put something about it on your website - what's the url again :o :o :o

You can get acid-free tissue, mounts, sticky strips, etc. from most good art shops and photographic shops.

Hi Anna,

My album come from a "department store" - but any decent stationers or family history site on the net sells acid free stuff.

It was only comments on here that lead to know what is was!!

Hi anna,

You can buy acid-free paper at most good art supply shops, and from conservation suppliers.  There are lots around, if you let me know where you live, I can probably hunt down the most convenient. 

I don't like the term "acid-free" myself, as I think it can mislead people either deliberately or inadvertently.  What you need to look for is paper that is "pH neutral" or "archival" or "conservation grade/quality" or "photo safe".  That applies to plastics, too - there are some good archival storage systems available that are made from plastics such as polypropylene, and these are photo safe.

If you want more info, just give me a yell  :)
