received them, I removed and marked each card with a number, i.e.
1-A, 1-B, etc - After scanning each card, most front and back, I placed the cards from each page in an acid-free enclosure marked with the page number - All the packages of cards were then placed in another, larger acid-free enclosure and stored - I saved and stored the album front cover |
