Opinions needed please (2 of 2)

#2
On a similiar note, I have DH's grandmother's photo albums in my possession as well.
I had all intentions of scanning all of these old old photos and giving the albums back to his grandfather.
But his grandfather has told me to just keep them, because he thinks that when he's no longer with us, the pictures will just end up in the garbage.

DH & I have decided that we will hold onto them for now and see what happens.

These are super old photos, i mean early 1900s.
And they too are in those glued page albums. DH's grandma however sorta glued them in herself. I know I am disturbing them to look at them & scan them..
Sooo in that, do you think I should get new photo albums for these too? Something that will help to keep them in good condition??

are they stuck to the page, where you think they might rip if you try and take them out??

I would absolutely get an archival photo album to put the pictures in.

Ugh Ive pulled photos out of those self glue albums and gotten horrible results. If you can get them out safely the best way to preserve them is to digitize them. I hope it works out
