      From: dahoov2@cox.net              heheh; my stuff is a little out of control too. I think I'll be       cleaning stuff out this year a bit. I'd recommend making sure you put       them in tissue paper between them etc to keep them from       dust/yellowing.              Also, I discovered during a trip to my mother's house, when I cleaned       out her apartment and took some photos, how people may forget to go       back and check older items. Years ago, they did not have acid free       and also, some of the family photos as well as the autographs may be       in those sticky photos albums. I had to remove photos and many were       yellowed and had spots on them! So I recommend everyone consider       redoing older albums to the more current ones with the acid free       backs.              To remove photos that would NOT come off, I took a flat razor blade       tool (it's actually a ceramics tool you can buy in a craft store and       it's shaped like a triangle and thin like a razor blade) and lifts a       corner and then rubbed back and forth really fast with the blade dug       down a bit so the point was almost digging into the page. It was the       only thing that worked! I actually ruined one photo and a few others       had tiny tears or the backs were coming apart a bit with other       methods. Don't try steaming; that curls older photos and polaroids       will come apart.              Anyway, thought it worth mentioning. But nice site by the way; it's       attractive and easy to read and find things etc              On Fri, 16 Jan 2009 15:55:07 -0600, "KC"        |
