How are you saving your U/S photos?

Someone told me they will fade with time, I am not that tech savy, can I scan them and save them?  Or is photocopying the best bet?

If I scan them can I get prints made?

    I scanned mine and printed out copies :) It's really easy to put into a baby book that way, also :)

     Good luck!

    Yes you should be able to take them to a CVS/Walgreens/Rite Aid/ Target/ Walmart and scan them using their photo lab area. Then you should be able to edit, resize, etc and have them print out however many copies you want. HTH!

    Scanning didn't work so well for me, so I took pictures of them as well as cold laminated them (heat laminating will ruin them). 

    The cold (self adhesive) laminating sheets should create a good seal to protect them and help them to last - or so I've read.

    My ones from DS are in a lenox photo album and they have not turned at all. They are 8 years old. I'm not sure if the pages are special or not.

    They probably are sealed well in the protective sheets and are acid free Wink

    Right now it's inside of a ziploc bag and on the 'fridge.  I am going to scan my 7w one and my 12w one, get prints, and put them in double frames for my mother and MIL on Mother's Day. 

    I guess ultimately I'll get around to starting a baby album and they'll go in there.  That might be a summer project.

     I scanned them and have them backed up on a jump drive.  The originals are in her baby book.
