Print the photos on quality printing paper. Such paper is more resistant to damage and lasts longer.
Use white cotton gloves to handle all photos. Human hands release natural oils harmful to the photos. Cotton gloves absorb these oils.
Package all photos at a room temperature between 22 to 28 degrees and in low humidity.
Back up all your photos to a compact disk. Store the disk in a plastic case.
Store the photos in quality albums made of lignin and acid-free papers or PVC-free plastics. Use acid-free premium plastic papers.
Label the packages, which include cardboard boxes, bubble envelopes, or cardboard mailers in advance. Use only a photo safe pen; avoid ballpoint pens or felt-tip pens.
Place photos and albums in cardboard boxes, bubble envelopes, or cardboard mailers to prevent damage during transportation. Seal the packages tightly.
Package the negatives separately in negative cases. Use the negatives to reprint the photos in case of damage or loss.
Seal the packages tightly with acid-free adhesive tape to prevent entry of air or moisture.
