The information about the photo can be written on the sleeve, then place the photograph inside the sleeve.<br /><br />I would guess they would recommend against the ziplocs since they are not archival quality nor meet the PAT standard.Susan Petersenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02788283253544225956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4361643719072455990.post-12653980328581888372011-03-28T13:34:18.924-05:002011-03-28T13:34:18.924-05:00Thanks for this post. If we don't use labels, ...Thanks for this post. If we don't use labels, are you suggesting writing directly onto the back of the photo -- in the corners with pencil? Often I have a lot of info I want to share about the photo. I've written it on a separate sheet I keep in the same box as the photos -- but could get separated. Are there any labels that would stick--archival type. Or could a pocket be put on the back of a sturdy photo and the info slipped into that? Same glue issue I suppose.<br /><br />Right now I have photos grouped into various Ziploc bags, labelled. Any advice about Ziplocs? I'd like to re-organize because the way my parents saved them -- family friends intermixed with our family--doesn't make sense for passing on. A giant album is very bulky--unless there are ones with sleeves that these (many 100 years old and more with cardboard-like sturdy backing) can be slipped into.Linda Gartzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00740477693031139484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4361643719072455990.post-31767315708217973712011-03-27T13:24:56.433-05:002011-03-27T13:24:56.433-05:00Love the tip on the ears.
