The Family Photo Album: How's Yours?

Traditionally, the album has been the most popular way of organising and sorting personal collections of photographs and other memorabilia. Very often older family album collections which are passed down through several generations end up the worse for wear. They will have been subjected to inappropriate and excessive handling, accidental water stains, mould, insect damage, general dirt and dust.
