The idea of keeping pictures in a scrapbook is not new. However, acid and other wood byproducts can cause damage to photographs. Ever notice an older photograph that has yellowed and fading? In recent years new technology in acid-free and lignin-free paper has revolutionized this method of preserving photographs and has made “scrap booking” even more popular as a hobby. Today’s scrap books are bright and colorful. It’s an incredible way to preserve precious memories and put them on display, rather than letting them fade in a box of photos.
There is frustration in finding supplies, despite the rising popularity of scrapbooks as hobbies. There may be limited stock in local craft shops, even if they don’t specialize. Additionally, store clerks may not have the knowledge or experience to answer questions or explain the different techniques about scrap books.
