PHOTO ALBUM STORAGE WINDOWS
Poisonous UV rays are likely to creep through windows and shine upon the photos you have on display, so keep the originals safe. I recommend printing out the scanned version of these photos and then keeping the originals stored safely in a photo album. Don’t forget to display some of your favorite photos! You can them hang in frames around the house, and they will undoubtedly become a favorite conversation starter. Consider the magnetic album to be the final resting place for antique photos.ĩ. Keep in mind that if the photos in these albums are more than 60 years old, the damage has likely already been done and taking them out could cause even more irreparable harm. If a photo is especially difficult to peel off the sticky paper, you can use a hair dryer to heat up the glue and melt it into compliance. Just lift one corner of your photo and gently saw the dental floss back and forth underneath until it becomes unglued. This practice risks further damage since just one slip could slice through an entire photo. So how do you get these photos out of the dreaded magnetic album? First, I don’t recommend using anything resembling a knife. The culprit of destruction is the highly acidic glue, which causes photos to yellow and makes them very difficult to remove.ģ.
These albums, in fact, are not magnetic but instead use an adhesive on a page in which you sandwich a photo between a sticky coating and a plastic sheet. If your photos are in so-called magnetic albums, take them out as soon as possible! The chemicals used in these albums are highly detrimental to photos.
