I prefer to make mine all sit up in a box rather than have the weight of tons of photos sitting down on them. Does that make any sense? I think I picked that up from scrapbooking years ago. You have to keep the albums all sitting up straight on a shelf instead of stacked on top of each other. The weight will press on the images/embellishments and dent them. Not sure that would be the case with regular pictures but I figure it doesn't hurt to have them sitting up straight like dominos :-) It’s fun going through all the old photos isn’t it? :-)

Now I wonder how to store them in a safer place. You mention photo boxes: is anything else required to preserve older photos? Do I need to purchase special boxes?

I\\\'m the somewhat disorganized archivist in my family. People know I love the old stories. I started a family blog with the old pictures so that far-flung family members can get the history there. I need to be more organized, though, and your process is worth trying. Dixie Beautiful post.

I did not have a chance to read TCM until very early this morning. Wow! I have been blessed by your stories and noe feelin nostaglic aobut my own family heritage. I was just telling my son yesterday, a little about his great- grandparents whom he never met. Now, I need to dig out the pictures and show them to him. :) Tisha- what a wonderful post.

I had tears in my eyes when reading this. I too have taken on the preserving and archiving for our family. I am part way thru all the scanning so some are still in those awful magnetic photoalbums. When my dad passed away almost 4yrs ago that was the first and really only thing I wanted. My sister and I also found alot of slides. I still need to get myself one of those scanner things. I can\'t wait to have it all finished and organized. Thanks for sharing your story and giving some great pointers for this project. Such a great post. I had tears in my eyes when reading this.
