GETTING STARTED Start your project by deciding if your album will be a timeline or a family line. Timelines are strictly chronological. If you choose chronological, you will be able to mix many unrelated family units together and capture a variety of memories in a single album. Chronological is suggested if you have a limited number of heritage photos and/or memorabilia available. If you choose a family line album, you will be able to expand on individual family members and family units. For example, within your family you may choose a separate maternal family album and paternal family album. Once you've decided on a strategy, you'll want to consider purchasing the Power Sort Memorabilia Box or Power Sort Box for sorting and preparing your materials. Label your folders by decade for a timeline album. Label your folders by family units for a family line album. If your family has one-of-a-kind photos and memorabilia, consider making duplicates. Memorabilia can be preserved using Photo Mounting Corners or Memorabilia Pockets. Side-Loading Portrait Sleeves can also be used.
