I am not an archivist but basically unbuffered material has an alkaline substance like calcium carbonate added that will counteract acids that might form due to those black acidic pages we are "buffering" against. I got my buffered paper from <a href="http://www.lightimpressionsdirect.com/" rel="nofollow">Light Impressions.</a><br /><br />The product is called Apollo Paper or Apollo Tissue. I'm sure other suppliers have a similar product.<br /><br />Southwest Arkie - Good luck with your project!Michelle Goodrumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03427355155193196767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8083165316546520942.post-83183977856750094812010-04-03T08:49:55.379-07:002010-04-03T08:49:55.379-07:00Thanks Michelle,

Some were taped, and now have the sticky yellow residue on the corners...some are just loose in the album, and sliding around. Wish I had started on this years ago. My plans are to take them out of the albums and put into storage boxes. Hope I can stay with the project and get it done.Coloring Outside the Lineshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15289093479063221765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8083165316546520942.post-10354394009704275182010-04-02T23:20:30.029-07:002010-04-02T23:20:30.029-07:00great info...I'm in the process of digitizing ...great info...I'm in the process of digitizing all of my photos. I have done the past 46 years but am now working on my mom's photos. They are glued in photo albums with the black pages. I've tried to get them 'unglued' with no success. I'll give the 'buffered' paper a try for helping to preserve them...now I HATE to sound dumb but what exactly is 'buffered' paper?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12670461716038876587noreply@blogger.com
