| 1. Before
you remove the photographs from the old album, have the new album
ready and waiting. The photographs will not be helped if they are
removed from a destructive album page only to be left on a table or
in a drawer without being put in a new album right away. |
| 2. Often,
photographs have information written on the back telling you who
the person is or where and when the photograph was taken. This information
should be copied to the new album page, just below the photograph.
This way, the photograph doesn't have to be removed in the future
to identify the person or place pictured. |
| 3. Use only Mylar-D photo
corners to attach the photographs to the new pages. DO NOT USE
common household tapes, such as masking or cellophane (Scotch), and
glues such as rubber cement or spray adhesives. These can cause rapid
deterioration of the photographs and the album page. |
| 4. When you are arranging
photographs on a new album page, consider the order in which they
were positioned in the original album. This arrangement, referred
to as "historical context" can often tell you a great deal about the
people who assembled the album and can provide useful information
about family relationships. |
