Another vote for scanning them, If they're already rather faded, some scanning software can restore them too. You can always print out a copy.

You could scan them. Then they are there forever.

I thought about it, too. It's just that I'd love to have and preserve them in physical form.

Are your photos kept inside clear plastic sleeves in the albums? Mine were until a friend told me that photos and paperwork should not be kept in these wallets for long periods. That may be your problem.

Yes, I keep them inside these sleeves. That is probably the answer, thank you!

How do you keep photo albums so that the photos in them wouldn't fade? I have a bunch of albums with some photos being pretty old, and recently I've noticed their fading that hadn't happened before. It is not crucial but I'm afraid it can become so. Can this fading happen due to the conditions? All of my albums are placed on the bookshelves and the air in the room is warm and relatively dry, but maybe there is something I should need about keeping the photos in a right way?
