Hep with storing my photo collections safely for years to co

[zombieman]

I am currently using "standard weight crystal clear polypropylene sheet protectors" with 3 hole punch to the side and placing them in a standard binder..sheets and binder are bought at Walmart.

I don't see anything about acid free on these sheets but they do say archival safe...no photocopy transfer, polypropylene is recylable.

I am reinforcing the photos with magazine backboards I'd got at a comic shop. (the same stuff that comic book backboards are made out of but a bit bigger size for magazines and photo sleeves).


Question is, am I doing good or could I be protecting my photos much better? I want the best quality and safest binders and sheets and such as I can possibly get. I have some rare and valuable photos and autographs I'd paid decent money for or obtained in person and I don't want anything to happen to them as time passes but I do want to have easy access to carefully look through them.

Also is it safe to put two photos to a page (with the board inbetween them) or is that a bad idea? Especially considering only one side of the board is nice and smooth/glossy but the other is ruffer (you know).

So help me out here please, if you know any good stuff to use, maybe give me a link or tell me what store to go to. Thanks.

i think that is the best you can do to protect them
