archival album for prints
Mar 30, 2018 07:28:23 #
My daughter just got married and she does not want a pre-printed album. She wants real prints put into an album with sleeves that can keep my pro lab's good quality prints forever. Does anyone have a suggestion for an "archival" photo album that will not allow the prints to degrade over time? Thank you.

Any good photo album with acid free sleeves will protect the photographs reasonably well. The key will be acid free and keep them in the dark, they'll last longer than they will ever need them. Check B+H, they have a pretty good selections of supplies.

Whoever is doing your printing should already carry archival albums. I like to work with the people doing the work and trust their judgment. That also gives me a chance to hear their ideas and support local business.

Not to hijack your thread, but our wedding pictures shot in BW are now 53 years old with no apparent degradation. Might you consider making a second set of prints in BW?

LOVE LOVE that idea! (Why didn't I think of that?) Thanks -- our old wedding BW pics are still good also. I've already bought an album, but backing it up with the BW's is a great idea.

Very happy to help. UHH has been good to me and I'm glad to pass it alone.
