Editor's Notes

August 19, 2019:

When you’re in the market for a photo album, you’ll want one that can preserve the quality of your photos and scrapbooking pages for decades to come. This includes books that feature acid- and lignin-free construction and those that are sturdy enough to withstand generations of handling. Ones that incorporate a three-ring binder mechanism make for convenient organization of your pages of photos, so you won’t need to spend hours on end reorganizing them when the need arises.

Joining our selection is the Archival Methods Box, which is basically a binder within a box, so you get the handy O-ring mechanism covered with durable walls that keep out dust and dirt. It features rust-proof metal edges and heavyweight boxboard -- features that will help to preserve it for the long run.

Staying in the Number 1 spot on our list is the We R Memory Keepers Classic, which is manufactured by a company that has been making photo albums for almost a century. This sturdy selection comes in at a pleasantly low price and ensures your snapshots and memorabilia will stay intact for the long haul. The useful label on its spine lets you give your book a title.

Leaving the list today is the 2PO 3-Ring, which could hold up to an impressive 85 pages, but sadly is no longer available at this time.
