My family has some photos that are fragile and was wondering how best to preserve them going forward.

I would make sure to store them in an acid free, lignin free box. If you want to place them in an album, the ONLY thing I would use is a Creative Memories album and supplies, and page protectors. You can find supplies on the market (at Joann's, Michael's, etc) that say they are acid and lignin free, but in truth they are not. I have pictures from the late 1800's and early 1900's and wouldn't put them in anything else. CM does so much quality control testing! They may cost a little more, but they are the best.

Scan them into a computer so that you have digital copies in case something happens to the originals. For the originals, make sure that if they are in albums, you are using non-acid paper and items.
