What is the best way to preserve very old photos.

I have a pile of old family photos that range in age from a few decades to some of the oldest that as far as i can work out, seem to be mid 1800's.

Some in good condition, many already have some damage, but want to keep them forever to give to my kids.

I have had them here in Thailand for many years now, so tropical conditions have not cause any problems so far....but I wish to make sure it never does.....we do get a bit of mould around at times, this year noticed moreso than before.

Scan and store in multiple media.

Thailand has a pretty agressive climate. :bah:

Time has shown us that CD and DVD are not as stable as was once predicted.

I keep two copies on hard drives and upgrade the disks from time to time.

I want the originals preserved...same same on digital media is not the same as an old time photo in your hand.

Of course I am saving them digitally, but want the originals preserved.
