These are all old pictures that I have received from my great Uncle. They will be scanned into my computer and saved on discs but I need a way to save the hard copy. I don't want to put them in albums, too many to do that. Some are REALLY old and curling.

I also have negatives that need stored.

A good camera store will carry acid-free storage for photos and negatives. You can use boxes, which are cheap and can hold lots of small photos, or binders with sleeves to put the photos and negatives in.
Store them in an area that doesn't get too hot or too cold, and has low humidity year-round. A closet shelf is much better than an attic, basement or garage.

Before you put them into plastic bags, wrap them in acid-free paper, because there are acids in the plastic bags that can slowly fade your photos.
