What to do With Your Autographed Photos

Once you receive your autographed picture of your favorite celebrity, you want to make sure that it stays in good shape. All you have to do to make sure the photo isn't damaged by time is store it in a photo album using acid free paper.

Not to get entirely too technical, but traditional, non-acid free photo albums contain a chemical that deteriorates over time. This is why white paper tends to turn yellow after a number of years. When acid free paper is made, a base (to neutralize the naturally occurring acids in the wood pulp) is added to the paper in order to prevent this deterioration from happening. You will also want to keep you photos out of direct sunlight, high heat areas as well as areas that are prone to moisture. Finally, storing your photos in a photo box is also not a good idea because as you or someone else takes them out to look at them, natural skin oils are transferred to the photo and will ruin the picture over a period of time.
