Scrapbooking is a hobby in which the goal is to preserve a legacy of written history in the form of photos and memorabilia placing them in uniquely decorated albums along with relevant journaling. This leisure pursuit has gained great popularity over time.
Today, scrapbooking is more than just using any type of paper, old glue or rubber cement which ruin pictures over time. Now, safety and longevity are some of the very important elements when preserving precious keepsakes along with creative expression and journaling.
Many factors can cause the photos to deteriorate some of which are due to acid, dust, light, etc. Acid found in paper breaks down the fiber of the paper over time that is the reason why it is best to use acid free paper. Getting dust on your photographs can damage them because it is abrasive. The photos can be shielded from dust damage using protectors or placing them in acid free albums. Light can also cause the photos to fade. To keep the light out, it is best to store albums on a shelf, away from direct sunlight.
Traditional scrapbooking in itself has evolved greatly over time. Today, there are more accessories, known as “embellishments”, to decorate each page layout. More elaborate designs are also being used. Modern scrapbookers are also mindful of the archival quality of the materials.
Moreover, the computer technology has gotten hold of this age old hobby, as well. More and more people are making scrapbook layouts in digital form using scanners, page layout programs and advanced printing options. In comparison with the traditional scrapbooking, digital scrapbooking has less environmental impact, may even be less expensive in the long run and what’s more is that it is not limited to digital storage and display; the finished lay outs can be printed out to be saved as keepsakes.
