A few years ago, my mom passed down her wedding album. My parents were married in 1979 in a very small ceremony. The reception was held in my grandparents’ backyard and my grandmother’s homemade spaghetti was the only thing on the menu.
Needless to day, it was a simple affair. Her album is similar.

Yes, my maiden name was Seeds. Like you plant in the ground. Blech.

The pictures are surrounded by construction paper, and each page is a different color.

The photos are held to the back of the paper with Scotch Tape. You can see the adhesive eating away at the construction paper.
Over the years, I’ve flipped through this album with fond memories of my parents and their marriage. I’m sad that the album is deteriorating right before my eyes. With the advent of services link Inkubook and Shutterfly, I’ve been toying around with the idea of scanning all my mother’s wedding pictures and creating an album that will stand the test of time.
I’m concerned about destroying the original. I want those photos around, but I’m afraid the damage has already been done.
So, hive, what do you suggest I do with the original album once I’ve scanned the photos in? Should I try to put it back together? Or should I try to reproduce it with new supplies and acid-free adhesives?
