Organizing Pictures

So we are moving soon, and I have begun to pack/clean out.  My goal is end a lot of our clutter.  I came across a large bin of pictures, some framed, some just in envelopes, and some in albums, but there's a lot of them.  They have been sitting in my basement for sometime now, so I know tht these are not pics I really look at a lot.  Mainly they are old high school and college photos.  However, I don't want to get rid of all of them.  Any suggestions on organizing these so that they are not just thrown in a box!

TIA!

  • I'd scan them now and  then maybe get a digital photo frame or two for them.

    I am "deaf-initely" one of a kind.

  • I found an album that I loved that holds 400+ 4x6's, then I bought eight of them so that all my albums will be the same size, making them easy to store (I have empty albums for future photos, as the album has been discontinued now).

    I went through and tossed any prints that were poor quality or no longer held meaning to me, then I filled my albums.  I never put original photos in frames because I've had photos stick to the glass in the past.  

    I also scanned all of my old photos and sent copies of the discs to family members for their use (and in case of fire/flood/theft).   

    I store current photos digitally in folders by year, month, and event.  Each quarter I have some of them printed for my album and then move them all from my hard drive to an external drive and back them up on a DVD.   

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

  • My suggestion is to go through an get rid of the bad quality ones first, like already stated, but sort them before they go into the albums. DH had a lot of photos that he had printed from high school/college and other random trips he took all mixed together in a box when we moved into our house. After we moved he started putting them into albums. It wasn't until I started looking for photos for our grandfather's scrapbook that I realized how mixed up the photos are. I am ready to take them all back out of the albums just to start over again.
