does anyone know the best idea on how to keep old newspaper clippings such as birth announcements or death notices? I have a few and they are all turning brown with age. I would like to keep them, but I don't know the best way to store them. Also I have an old photo album that the photos are glued down to the pages. the photos are all fading quickly leaving no picture. Th album is quite large. Anyone know how best to store it so the photos won't fade anymore? :-S |

You should scan your old photos and keep them on your computer before they fade too much. As already said, old photos will inevitably fade with time. |
