This isn't a great snapshot, but we love our family. I'm finally getting around to scanning and color correcting all the photos from my Dad's house, and I saved the album from the 70s for last. Woah, I should have gotten those puppies out of that album sooner.
Most of them are faded and quite a few have visible foxing and acid damage from the album. I am not a skilled photo restorer, nor do I think a lot of these are worth it, being Instamatic type shots, but they are a good reminder of our past. Look at this album. If this is what your old albums look like, GET YOUR PICTURES OUT! Yes I am yelling. The acid in the paper is eating away at your memories.
Oh, back up your digital pictures too, while you are at it!

Wow! You have quite the project there! Thanks for the reminder to back up digi photos! I haven't done most of mine yet.
It's a lot of work but I am sure it will be worth it to have the photos preserved!
