Did you know that the sun can be harmful to your family history materials? Although the human naked eyes cannot see the
UV radiation from the sunlight, we all know how dangerous it can be to our eyes, skin, and yes, to our scrapbooks and similar materials. Sounds absurd, but it is true.
Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can damage valuable materials like
flower garden-inspired scrapbooks, albums, and the likes. The UV rays may speed up the fading of color inks and dyes that adorn such materials. In addition, UV rays may accelerate the yellowing of such materials even though they are kept indoors. As such these materials look terrible and most likely you do not like to reminisce your past contained in these materials.
To put an end to such kinds of predicaments, you have to lower the duration of exposure. Never leave your scrapbooks open all the time. It is a good idea to take away and store photos on display for quite sometimes. Avoid placing photos than can be directly reached by sunlight. Protect your
scrapbook using spray like Paper Bright just as you use sun block lotion on the skin.
