Many of the older albums were the magnetic kind, with plastic sheets that peeled back to reveal pre-glued pages. If you still have your photos in these albums, you may have noticed that the glue is now yellow, and your pictures are faded and damaged. This is due to the acid content in the adhesive. Even if you do not choose to have Scrap Fancy create scrapbook pages for you, we urge you to get your photos out of this type of album ASAP. Today there are many photo albums labeled as acid-free and archival safe.
