Magnetic Photo Albums - Preparing for Battle

Now that Dad's slides have been scanned, labeled, tagged, shared, backed-up, the originals stored in new binders and the old carousels whisked away by a fellow Freecycler, it is time to turn to my next photo preservation project - rescuing photos from "Magnetic" albums.

Donald's baby photos and even a lock of his hair are stuck to the pages of this album but good; it is finally time to set them free.

I do not endorse any product or service, this is just what I happen to be using.

Wish me luck - I will document my progress and share with you soon.

    Oh, Anna, I wish you the best of luck. If you can't "free" the faces without damage, I bet you can use a Flip Pal or something similar to scan or photograph the photos in place on the pages. I did that and it worked very well.

      I am actually taking these albums apart and scanning the photos in place before I try to remove them. I may have to invest in a Flip Pal one of these days, though. Thanks.
