5 Tips for your Shoebox of Photos
Every family has lonely shoeboxes full of photos and negatives that nudge us every time we open the cupboard under the stairs, go to the loft or or look to the top shelf of the closet. These boxed photos don't just look and feel unloved but, as the hypothetical question goes....
If your home were on fire, what would you save?
After your family, friends and pets are safe, most of us would save our memories—paper photos, to be specific.
Don't wait. Time is not a friend of paper photos. Cheap ink and paper, poor storage, light, temperature change and humidity threaten the chance of these precious memories being shared by future generations.
So here are some tips for preserving these and relOVEing these photos.
Find your paper photos
This may seem obvious, but do you know where all of your paper photos are? Some may be in books or albums tucked onto the seldom seen shelves.
