Energize and Organize: Preserving Memories

Attics, basements, and garages are prone to extreme heat fluctuations, moisture/humidity, rodents, and insects. Therefore, they may not be the proper places for your most prized possessions. Protect your family heirlooms, photos, and valuable memorabilia so they last a lifetime by following this advice. 

Photos should be stored in archival-quality albums and kept away from light and out of moist or hot spaces.

• Store videotapes in protective plastic boxes and on end (not lying flat on top of each other).
• Heirloom textiles and garments should be cleaned first and then wrapped in acid-free tissues and placed in acid-free storage boxes.
• Special books should also be placed in acid-free boxes. 
• Memorabilia (when not being displayed) should be kept dust-free and in storage boxes as well. Then store these valuables in the main living quarters of your home — not in the garage, attic, or basement. Watch for rodents and insects, and deal with them promptly to avoid damage.    © 2017 Articles on Demand™
