I have grouped them in envelopes, noting on the front of each envelope what is inside. I have the envelopes stored in clear plastic containers the size of shoe boxes, upright like files in a file cabinet, so I can easily flip through. I found that albums were not good for me to use because they take up a lot of space. I have taken so many pictures over the years that I would need to have an entire room devoted to the storage of albums.

In years past hubby used to take mostly slides so most of my photos are slides which, when we wanted to, we could have a slide turned into a print. The slides are all appropriately labeled inside of the slide boxes.

Nowadays with digital photos it is harder for me to find things. Each CD has a notation on it of what it contains but not in nearly enough detail. I really must go through them some day and do a better description. I was trying to find, just yesterday, a particular batch of photos from when my aunt last visited (she died on Wednesday ) and I had a horrible time doing that. Of course I got sidetracked looking at old photos which was fun.
