Friends and relatives,
	Please be careful to preserve old photographs.
Sometimes "old folks" do not realize how priceless this history is.
	My sweet mother "threw away" many of the the photographs of her and 
my father's early life. 
She lived to be 93, and I do not think she believed that the pictures were of 
any importance to her children. 
	You may love your parents and older relatives dearly, but do not 
trust their thoughts, about family history.
If you are in doubt about your familie's photographs "borrow" them and copy 
them or just forget to bring them 
	back or use whatever ruse to preserve the past.
You are not now tied to a great expense at a photo shop to copy old photos as 
many of the copy shops can do virtually
	photo-quality copies for very little money. Besides, this allows you 
to preserve the originals.
Also you should store in "Acid- free" containers and be very careful with 
transparent tape, glue and "photo corners"
	If in doubt, contact a paper expert at a local museum.
Some historic documents need to be sealed in glass, away from any sun or 
heat. 
	Also, use thin cotton gloves to keep skin oils away from photographs.
