Preserving Your Scrapbooks
When you are scrapbooking you will be thinking mainly about the scrapbook page layout and how to put it together in the most attractive way. Your scrapbook will probably represent many hours of creative work and thought so you will want it to last a lifetime. It may also contain memorabilia and photographs that cannot be replaced.
You should therefore give some thought to the materials and paper you are using for your scrapbook album as many contain chemicals that can damage or destroy your precious work over time. To take no risk with your precious pages either work with specially designed materials and acid-free paper or only work with copies of unique mementos.
The best solution may be to have one scrapbook that is for your fun work and another that you take more care with to preserve for posterity.
