Photos are such treasures. They keep us connected to memories, people, and places from our past. Storing photos and photo albums needs to be done carefully or those captured memories can be forever lost.

Here Are 3 Tips for Safely Storing Photo Albums

Choose The Right Photo Album

Albums with archival and acid-free pages with PVC-free plastic page covers will help keep your photos preserved. Durability matters as well. Choose a photo album that has a strong cover and spine. Make sure all the photos are fully covered in the album. You do not want any of your photographs to be exposed or unprotected.

Make Electronic Backups of Your Photos

This may seem like a huge task, but it can save you a major heartbreak if a natural disaster ever struck. Creating digital backups of your images can ensure that your photographs will always be available to you. You can scan your images or even take pictures of your photographs and save them digitally.

Protect Your Images from Moisture & Extreme Temperatures

Excessive light, high heat, moisture, or extreme cold can ruin your photographs. It is recommended that you store your photos in an area that consistently stays below 75° F at all times, but never expose them to freezing temperatures. If you are using a storage unit for your photo albums, be sure it is climate-controlled.

Take Care of Your Photo Albums

A little extra attention and care can make your photo albums last for generations. If you need a trusted storage facility for your photo albums, contact 316 Self Storage. We offer the best in clean, safe, and secure storage in Winder, GA.
