	Most important thing is to wrap them in acid proof paper and keep in light sealed box and obviously away from damp.

	Jackie, You could also scan them before you store them away safely. It is then possible to look at the images, either on the computer or printed off, to remind you of details or to show to relatives. Elisabeth
