COLOR FILM-DISASTER FOR GENEALOGISTS: It is a known fact that color prints and
negatives will not last. If you are taking color photos, your descendants in 100 years could possess
only blank pieces of paper. The rate of deterioration depends on what paper the photos were printed
on and also how they are stored. The final insult is that plastics, such as photo albums are made of.,
make them fade quicker. The only way to save color photos for later generations is to have them
copied ir. black and white. And don't forget to write the names on the back;
Note froir V.B: Copies made on photocopy machines may outlast expensive ones
