Photographs can be organized, displayed, and stored in many ways.
Few homes have room for every picture or photograph to be displayed at one time.
We really don't even want every photo to be seen! Alternative to hanging each photo must be explored.
Some of course will be framed and hung, scrapbooks are a great way to use and store photos.
File boxes made especially for photos are an excellent option.
Digital photos may be displayed in a digital frame, which means that many photos can occupy a small area of wall space at one time.
Photo storage options are available on your computer.
DVD's may be made of favorite photos and watched from either the computer or the TV.
Another great option is online storage of photos.
Online storage may be either free or paid for.
Read carefully the terms of use for any photo storage option you chose.
If the photos are very important to you, the sites with fees and unlimited storage space as well as unlimited time, while the fee is paid are a great option.
One thing to consider, if you choose a paid storage option, include the information: log in, passwords, and fees due as well as expiration dates in the final documents for your family, so that the photos do not get lost, because your loved ones were unaware of an ongoing fee.
If home storage and organization is your choice the following tips are for you:

• Use only acid-free labels and envelopes to store negatives
• Use only acid-free labels, and pens to write on the back of your photos.
  
• Use archival quality plastic page protectors
• Use only archival photo corners, tapes, and strips to attach you photos
• Use only acid-free papers in your albums
• Include important data about your photos: who, when, where, events surrounding the photos, other people who may have been present but not in the photo itself.
  This memorabilia will be vitally important to future generations looking at your photos.
  
• There is a tremendous variety of styles, shapes, and sizes of photo albums available.
  Always choose archival quality

One other option for the stacks of photos you have lying around the house is to scan them yourself and digitize them for storage to your computer.
This task my be outsourced for a fee, and you will receive your photos nicely preserved on a CD or DVD.
There is no one, right way to store your photos.
The important thing is that they be organized and preserved for your own enjoyment and the enjoyment of future generation.
Experiment with different organizational methods.
Use what is right for you.
