SAFE PHOTO STORAGE

Many organizing sites will provide you with great ideas for storage options but BUYER BEWARE…Not all storage containers are considered safe for storing your precious photographs and memories. Many "photo boxes" contain acid and lignin which are detrimental to your photographs and plastic containers can emit gases that accelerate deterioration.

YOUR SAFE PHOTO STORAGE CHECKLIST

Nothing is more aggravating than getting ready to make a recipe and realizing you don't have all the ingredients. The same can be said as you embark on your photo organizing journey. You will be far more successful if you have the right "ingredients" or tools. Make sure you have everything you need before you start!

Without a doubt, the right supplies can make all the difference in how easily and quickly we get the job done.  And, choosing the wrong supplies can be disastrous!

Be sure to shop for products that are acid-free, lignin-free and PVC free. (To learn more about what these terms mean, visit: The Very Abbreviated Version of the Boring, Technical Stuff).

While we don't carry supplies here at Organized Photos, we have provided a link to the leading supplier of archival products and have put together what we feel are the basic essentials.
